Campaigners slam Patel's plans to let volunteer police use Tasers
GOVERNMENT plans to hand Tasers to volunteer police officers are “dangerous” and will “inevitably lead to more deaths” from stun guns, campaigners have warned.
Home Secretary Priti Patel was expected to announce the move today during a speech at the Police Federation Conference.
Under the proposals, special constables would be allowed to carry electroshock weapons if authorised by their chief officers.
