Reply #8: Rational Reasons

[Mike03]

Police are sort of skeptical by nature, in my experience.

If you can convince them that the reasons are anything other than some sort of personal weird desire to be tased, they will probably accept it.

I think the journalism excuse is the best. Many, many journalists have been tased so that they can describe the experience in a column or story.

The thing I would emphasize is that you want to do this in order to experience it so that you can relate the experience to others, and if you want to add anything, you can say you are not against tasing but may want to present a view that tasing someone is not dangerous, regardless of whether you think it is right or wrong.

Getting tased is something you will remember, but for most of the population it is not dangerous and has no lasting effects. Often they will tase you over a wrestling mat or soft cushions. I mean, it is not a pleasant experience, but it is very rapid and the effects wear off quickly.

Hope this helps a bit.
