But then again, maybe not. Tell me what you think.

Here’s another Taser issue to consider. There is a report on Live Leak today about how police officers are able to save people from committing suicide by shooting them with the Taser gun. Finally, one good use for the Taser.

Does it matter that this “news” is sponsors by the manufacturer of the Taser weapon? They have taken so much heat and bad press lately that it’s only natural that they would try to spin it back.

I don’t hate all police officers. I have a good friend who is a deputy and another who is a highway patrol. They are both good men. But I do have a general distrust of police. My friendship with these individuals doesn’t change what I feel in my heart. I’m glad they are in law enforcement, because it possibly cancels out two of the bad ones.. kind of. I know, that’s not really possible.

Anyway, I know most of you are sick to death by now of the Taser stories. And that may be a generous understatement, however, in the interest of balance I offer this story in which Tasers are not used inappropriately. The officers in these instances didn’t Taser babies, innocent citizens, mentally retarded people or invalids - instead they used the Taser to actually save lives.

That’s quite a spin, wouldn’t you agree?

The California Supreme Court has ruled that the situation that has been going on in Stockton and Oakland California must stop. The cities have been seizing the cars of people arrested for crimes involving prostitution and drugs.

This practice of seizing the cars has been very controversial, since they were seizing and at times even selling the cars of people who had not been convicted of any crimes. Just being accused of the crime was previously enough for the car to be seized, causing the owner to have to fight to try to get it back.

The California Supreme Court has finally ruled that after over 10 years of cars being seized during arrests, that the cities do not have the authority to do that. Innocent until proven guilty, right?
