9th Circuit cuts back on Taser Use

The 9th Circuit is one of the most liberal circuits and one of the most skeptical about police use of force. They have jurisdiction over only Calif. and 6 other Pacific Coast and/or western states. One wonders about the need to tase a woman who is 7-months pregnant and refuses to get out of the car after refusing to sign the ticket. At least they didn't Taser her in the abdomen. The court seems to be saying that Tasers cannot be used against a non-threatening suspect/arrestee. It remains to see if any of the other Circuits will go along. The U.S. Supreme Court has not decided this issue.
