Mandatory Taser Training for Cops Passes Florida House Committee

Florida police officers would be required to take four hours of training before using the Taser stun gun under HB 303 which was unanimously approved by the Florida House Criminal Justice Appropriations Committee.  Presently, no training is required.  The training requirement bill surfaced after many people have been seriously injured or killed after being hit by the Taser.  Republican Dick Kravitz of Jacksonville is sponsoring the bill.
