What would you have the officers do?

How about for starters NOT shocking the innocent passenger. How about exercising sound judgment. How about conducting yourself in a manner fitting of the uniform you wear. How about remembering to protect and serve as opposed to harass, intimidate and abuse? This cop is no better than a carjacking thug. Better march in lockstep and comply or the government will kill your unborn baby.

Oh, and there is a written policy so that makes it all legal.

Your question was not for me but, if I may offer up...maybe tickle her. When I'm holding onto something, a sure fire way to get me to let it go would be to tickle me. Less hazardous than a tazer. :-)

Put away the radar unit, and spend some time enforcing the traffic laws that pertain to public safety, and only those speed offenses that are obviously unsafe.

Don't insist on a signature, and testify that the signature was refused.

It looks like you got plenty of answers in your question to me, all of which support my assertion that it was wrong to taser an eight month pregnant woman. The woman could have been arrested at home at a later time, or perhaps backup should have been called in this case. I'll ask my son, who is a police officer, what he would have done, and report back to this thread.
