Judge Says Its Okay To Taser You For DNA

Don’t tase me bro! Well, unless it is to compel me to give you a DNA sample, then it’s okay. Just imagine what they can do to get a blood sample.

It is legally permissible for police to zap a suspect with a Taser to obtain a DNA sample, as long as it’s not done "maliciously, or to an excessive extent, or with resulting injury," a county judge has ruled in the first case of its kind in New York State, and possibly the nation.
