"Tayside Police's tactical firearms adviser Sergeant Jim Leslie today said there had been 'no issues' raised by the medical community during consultation about the medical impact of 50,000-volt Taser guns introduced by the force today, writes Steven Bell. However, Amnesty International's Scottish programme director Rosemary Burnett said she believed the medical risks should have been further looked into before the guns were deployed."
