Some people do not like the idea of using air tasers because they deliberately cause pain to the attacker. For many people, the idea of shocking a person to incapacitation is hardly appealing. While quite rare, there has been the occasional report of death from air taser shock, increasing the potential liability when using this weapon.

Although it is a lethal weapon, the objective of the Molotov is to inflict damage all while leaving the target stunned in a way.
Taser abuse easily flourishes because many departments use tasers as a more acceptable use of force to the lower the number of incidences of deadlier force. Some departments put Tasers pretty high on their force continuum, while others place them pretty low down at the level of pepper spray (Goldman, 2007). Police departments need to emplace stricter “use of force continuums” so that incidences where tasers should not have been used do not happen anymore. The government needs to regulate tasers and use of force guidelines need be standard throughout each department in America. It is sad to say but some departments have lax use of force guidelines where a suspect who is passively resisting ends up getting

Steroids unlike street drugs like cocaine heroine have bona fide medical uses but they are outlawed if not prescribed. Possession of steroids is punishable by imprisonment and a fine.

The different uses will depend on the food being irradiated as each technology has strengths and weaknesses. Gamma ray irradiation is very powerful and can penetrate substances deeply. It also yields substantial uniformity of the does in the product and decays to non-radioactive nickel. But the radioactive source, commonly Cesium-137, requires frequent replenishment and treatment of the food is relatively slow. Additionally, protective barriers must be in place when this form is used to protect workers and the environment.
