  Welcome back and thanks for joining us for the wrap up of this discussion on when a Michigan cop can use a taser on a suspect. As we talked about in the previous article, Michigan cops are allowed to use a taser (sometimes called a stun gun) when they believe they are threatened, or […]

  If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a taser you know how totally horrible it feels! Every muscle in your body locks up, and you lose control of your ability to move. It’s well…. simply shocking. Some people have described it as feeling like you’re being hit by lightning. However, as you […]

  For the person being arrested, it’s a scary process. For the person doing the arresting, it’s a procedure that has to follow certain protocols in order to be legal, which makes it stressful. If you’ve been arrested, and you think the arresting officer screwed something up, or violated your rights in some way, you […]

We’re talking about police profiling, which is […]

  The tensions between civilians and police officers are at an all time high right now. The break down in public trust in law enforcement has been monumental in recent years. With every officer involved shooting receiving wide media scrutiny, and social media exploding every time the cops get called, the relations are now so […]

It’s a difficult time, both for people who have to interact with officers, and for the officers themselves. And as you can imagine, the result is fear. Many people are afraid of the police, and afraid […]

  Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof is the mind behind a new and very controversial two-bill package that has been introduced.
