Nova Scotia Allows Taser Use on Mentally Ill
The report does not say what is considered a mentally ill episode or person. It says that it will only allow tasering after de-escalation and other tactics do not work.
If someone is in the middle of a seizure, there is usually no compliance when someone asks you to do something. Because you cant. Also, pre-ictal and post-ictal states cause a problem because during those times, a person with epilepsy may not be able to control themselves.
Personally, I think tasers are barbaric for anyone unless they are holding a weapon.
