I was talking to a good friend of mine who works patrol with my department. He told me there have been several taser failures in the last month or so on his squad alone. One where he attempted to discharge the taser on a combative bleeding 5150 subject. The taser failed so he dropped it and went hands on (his partner was with him). The taser then deployed on it's own a few seconds after the officer dropped it. He went on to say they have had several failures, which I guess our department is looking into now.
We joked that the taser were set by the factory to auto terminate once the newest model comes out (the X3). Anyone else seen or heard about recent taser malfunctions??
