Working as an LEO in a state that falls in the 9th circuit, I would not have been able to use my taser in this manner given what I saw in the video. The 9th circuit has ruled that a taser can not be used as a means to gain compliance for anything less than aggressive behavior. I could have used OC, but not the taser. And this is based solely on what I saw in that clip of the video. Reaching into the backpack coupled with a refusal to exit the vehicle would have been enough. Legally speaking. Don't know about your dept policy It appears the cop asked him to produce ID. It was in response to that request that he searched for same in his backpack. At which point, it appears, the cop pointed a loaded firearm at him and his family. It appears also that at this point he was asked to exit. Fearing violence, the passengers requested a supervisor. Then the video starts. Very smart move by the officer. Tell the perp to move and as everyone knows all civilians are threats to officers so the second the guy moves he is fair game for use of force, just like we will soon see with the SC trooper who shot the seat belt violator.
