Amnesty warns police using new 10-shot ‘super taser’ is ‘fundamentally dangerous’
International Amnesty International Britain warned that the use of a new “10 shots super” was “fundamentally dangerous” after the metropolitan police were shot with a new scandal.
Charitableness, the new “Taser 10” (T10) electro-shock weapon, especially among children with a series of potential for serious unwanted injuries, he said. He also emphasized the potential of abuse against the “police disproportionate and bad accountability basis”.
The warning comes from the biggest power of England, after the publication of a BBC Panorama documentary, once again involved in controversy.
MET faces accusations of racism, women’s hostility and power abuse, after secretly making aggressive comments and boasting violence.
Following the images, Amnesty International said that giving the use of tasters to the police without strengthening the rules to limit the use of tasters to life -threatening situations increases “basic security concerns”.
The government said on Friday, the British and Wales police can use Axon’s new TASER 10 model, and the device could shoot 10 single probes at a distance and the officers can choose that each of the officers are now fired.
AF defined the probes longer and more sharper than the previous models, the prickly pointed ends were fired with greater force. He argued that stronger spines increased the likelihood of serious injuries if they increase certain concerns for children by multiplying sensitive areas such as faces or eyes.
However, the Ministry of the Interior insisted that security mechanisms, including the introduction of an auditory warning, and that the device was subject to “meticulous examination, independent tests and medical assessments ..
However, although he was a member of the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) independent counseling group, AF-Devletin Policing Specialist Oliver Feeley-Prague claimed that neither himself nor other members could not examine the test, evaluation or medical evidence prepared in front of the statement of his home office.
Police Minister Sarah Jones described Taser 10 as a “safer option ,, but Mr. Feeley-Prague called it“ misleading ..
“A weapon that can shoot ten times has a risk of excessive use and serious injury, but even the independent advisory group has not been allowed to see security evidence. When it refuses to access the documents to be examined, there is little meaning to have a study organ.
“It increases the likelihood of serious unwanted injuries with children at risk, including face or eye injuries, faster, faster, faster.
However, Blair Gibbs, the Police Foundation Police Foundation of the UK, argued that civil servants should be able to use the latest Taser devices and even call for training to accelerate their deployment.
He said: “We have solid and radical security assessments for approved policing vehicles like TASER. As new models are developed, new investigations are made by home office scientists and this final device has been tested properly.
“Despite the tradition of unarmed unarmed policing, it is true that more civil servants in the intervention roles can reach the latest TASER devices, so that they can keep the people and other officers safe.
However, amnesty organization, minority ethnic communities and mental health crisis disproportionately targeting the police, which includes the “TASERS abuse discomfort” stressed.
The latest home office data showed that black people were eight times more likely to experience a TASER, which was drawn or discharged. Amnesty International calls for an urgent review of official guidance on the use of police designs.
Mr. Feeley-Prague said: “Against this abuse and excessive basis of use, a comprehensive examination of official guidance on the use of police tasters is now important. This examination should be a priority and urgently treated to ensure that the freshness is used only in life-threatening situations.”
According to Alex Lowe, England and Irish Regional Director Alex Lowe, about 20 police forces have already registered with new devices.
Taser Taser 10, which is supported by immersive VR training, is a vital part of the technology tool set with real -time digital evidence management that will help the government to fulfill the safer street mission of the police. ”
“This new device, supported by solid tests, will help our police forces and our educated officers to fight the crime while maintaining public confidence and accountability, which is very important for our change plan.” He said.
Sir Andy Marsh chef Sir Andy Marsh, CEO of Policing College, called the new device “an invaluable tool”.
Uz Our updated guidance was developed in consultation with experts and tested in real world scenarios. The effective use of TASER 10 is about increasing the security of our police officers and fulfilling our duty to protect the public from the minimum power. In addition, it provides the use of public forces with care and responsibility.
“Police College’s new guidance and training will not only make the preparation of civil servants for the highest possible standards, but also to make these standards transparent. This will help to create public trust and confidence and to have the high professional standards that the civil servants are proud to continue.”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Interior: “TASER 10 was subjected to meticulous examination, independent tests and medical evaluation with technical tests performed by an independent test house and technical tests carried out with user processing attempts to ensure that the device is suitable for the purpose.
