Arma care blochează mușchii în câteva secunde. Motivul pentru care poliţiştii români nu o pot folosi

Romanian police unions advocate for the use of Taser guns to immobilize aggressors from a distance. Despite some officers being trained, legal restrictions prevent their deployment in the field. Tasers are classified as 'less lethal' by manufacturers, but Romanian law categorizes them as non-lethal weapons. The devices can incapacitate individuals for five seconds, causing extreme discomfort. Police argue that Tasers could provide a safer alternative in confrontations, especially in crowded situations. However, the IGPR cites legal limitations and potential risks for individuals with heart conditions as reasons for not authorizing their use. In contrast, Tasers are commonly used by police in the U.S., while their adoption in Europe remains contentious due to safety concerns.
