Tasers -Quoted in Daily Mail 24 June 2012

Interview on Channel 4 News -Special Report

Interview on Police Tasers for Channel 4 News
Sophie Khan, a Solicitor Advocate at GT Stewart, represents clients who claim they've been unfairly Tasered by the police:

"It is very much the officer thinking this is something new they can use and without any kind of risk of consequences calculation by that officer just deploying it because he can and that's the only thing he can do."
