I work in Left Bank, Wellington and we often have police arresting people in this area for 'public drunkenness' etc. A man was pepper-sprayed, thrown to the ground and handcuffed last week right infront of several shop-minders and other public (who did not assist the police in anyway).

How long until we see tasers used in our streets and more importantly what will we do about it?

Does anyone know what we can do to assist taser victims and stop police using them or inflicting more pain afterwards? Other than a riot... ;)

Can you give refuge on private property to someone police want to arrest?
