Call to block police Taser trial

Calls have been made for the Government to intervene in Glasgow’s move to become the first city in the UK where officers on the beat carry Taser guns.

Liberal Democrat justice spokesman Robert Brown has challenged the decision by Steve House, chief constable of Strathclyde Police, to pilot a £45,000 scheme that will equip officers with the weapons.
