There has been a trial on Tazar use with the NZ police. The trial was a great success and difussed potentially violent situations with it only having to be discharged twice. They use one with a laser sight and the act of being "painted" with it was enough in most cases to gain compliance from the suspect. It can only be a good thing in my book as it does even up the playing field and certainly a safe bet for the police than using a baton as there is more chance injury could be sustained which could affect the outcome of an arrest.
