There has been much debate in Canada after a 40-year-old Polish man died last month after he was ‘tasered’ by police. Another 36-year-old man died Saturday five days after an altercation with police who used a Taser to subdue him.
There have been at least three other deaths this week in the United States after police use of the Taser.
Amnesty International has said there have been about 300 deaths around the world after Taser use and has called for it to be suspended while a full investigation into the impact is conducted.
On Friday, the UN Committee said the stun gun “causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture”.
Di Zazzo’s French company is also developing a mini-flying saucer like drone which could also fire Taser stun rounds on criminal suspects or rioting crowds. He expects it to be launched next year and to be sold internationally by Taser.
