La polizia sta studiando un reclamo che un uomo che più successivamente è risultato essere unarmed ed innocent è stato scosso ripetutamente con una pistola di Taser.
Daniel Sylvester, il proprietario di 45 anni di una ditta di sicurezza orientale de Londra, stava guidando a casa il 20 ottobre quando è stato arrestato dalla polizia munita.
Il sig. Sylvester ha detto al guardiano ch'ha uscito del suo automobile e che è stato circondato dagli ufficiali, almeno due di chi ha trasportato le armi automatiche.
Senza avvertimento uno l'ufficiale ha infornato i 50.000 volt Taser nella parte posteriore della sua testa, lui ha sostenuto.
He was shocked again, causing him to fall on his face and break a front tooth, and a further six shocks made him wet himself and left him lying in the road while his car was searched by officers and sniffer dogs, eventually finding nothing.
The incident was part of Operation Neon, which aims to crack down on guns in London’s streets by using number plate recognition and armed reponse teams to stop and search vehicles.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) confirmed they are supervising an investigation that is being carried out by the Met Standards Directorate.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “Just after midnight on the 20th, officers on an intelligence-led operation stopped a car in Bounces Road, N9. The driver got out of the vehicle and was subsequently Tasered. Our information is the Taser was deployed once.
“A complaint has been made to police regarding the incident and the DPS (Director of Professional Standards) are investigating.”
The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) say in their guidelines Tasers should be deployed where officers “may have to protect the public, themselves and/or the subject(s) at incidents of violence or threats of violence of such severity that they will need to use force.”
