I don’t think so...
1. Not leashing two dogs as required
2. Knowingly providing false identification
3. Failure to obey a lawful order
4. ZZZZZZZZZap!
I get real tired of people who think they can blow-off law enforcement when they clearly broke and/or were advised that they broke, the law. He got what he deserved, no matter who was behind the tazer.
Rule: Treat law enforcemnt with respect - sue later.
Civil matter or minor infraction at best, unworthy of a physical assault. Unless, of course, you love Our Police State.
2. Knowingly providing false identification
This one is much more problematic, although, one person on this thread has stated that California does not require production of identity on an 'order'. In any case, it's still not worthy of physical assault.
3. Failure to obey a lawful order
At some point, the order becomes unlawful. At that point, the person who should be prosecuted, is the officer. I might not have tried to leave unless denied counsel. I would have demanded IMMEDIATE counsel. I would have wanted my attorney THERE if the guy or gal tried to detain me without arrest for much more than, say, an hour.
I think that this trend to zap everyone, and the newest trends (to deny habeaus corpus or allow counsel) are very dangerous and are quite indicative of the trend towards a true Police State. Soon, we will be there.
4. ZZZZZZZZZap!
The answer of far too many officers, far to early in the encounter.
