Police officer zapped for using his own Tazer

A police officer who demonstrated how his Taser worked by zapping a willing participant in the genitals got an official warning from his bosses.

Officer Randy Reynolds, Tenino Washington, fell under the watchful eye of his superiors when a video of the incident that occurred last Spring was posted on YouTube. Apparently the video clearly shows that the unidentified man wasn’t injured and onlookers can be heard laughing in the background.

Interim Police Chief Larry Dickerson has stated that Reynolds had been at a social gathering, but he was in uniform as he was on his way to work at the time. The unidentified man repeatedly asked Reynolds to use the weapon on him. Reynolds eventually obliged twice.

“He said he just wanted to know what it felt like. Randy didn’t want to do it at first, but the guy kept asking,” said Dickerson, who interviewed the man.

The Chief has said that no uniformed officer should demonstrate the use of a stun gun outside the line of duty except during training exercises.

“You don’t just go around doing your own demonstrations,” he said.

For his trouble Reynolds, 30, who’s been with the southwestern Washington towns police department since December 2005, will receive a formal reprimand in his personnel file and a warning not to misuse police equipment. He’ll also have to go over the departments taser policy and go over it with an instructor - again.

Recover damaged or deleted files with Active File Recovery

There’s nothing I hate more than getting a virus on my computer or encountering a website while surfing that causes my system to crash. These things always seem to happen when you are in the middle of writing an email, or working on a document don’t they?

How often have you lost files that you’ve been working on and haven’t saved, or that were saved in the past, but were open for editing?

It would be great if you could easily recover files that were damaged by virus attack, accidental formating, or maybe ones that were in the recycle bin that you deleted by mistake?

Well … there is a program that can recover damaged or deleted files and folders. It’s called Active File Recovery, and it’s easy to use. You can also use the program to recover photographs and other media files, even those deleted from flash memory, or data that has been lost due to formating a memory card.

Not only is this program really easy to use, but it also acts as an efficient data recovery tool. The Active File Recovery Software Enterprise Installation package comes with a CD/DVD ISO image that you can burn in order to get a bootable DVD or CD with a lightweight version of windows Vista that will run in RAM.

So if your system crashes and you can’t get it to boot up you can just slip the DVD or CD into your system and you’ll be able to get it to boot. This will allow you to get into your computer and perhaps use system restore to return your system to a time when it was working properly, say before you installed a program that corrupted files on your computer.

Being able to boot your crashed system will also allow you to use the Active File Recovery program to check for damaged or deleted files as well. Perhaps simply recovering a file that you deleted or that was damaged before you system crashed will be all that’s needed to get your computer working properly again.

Another thing that I like about Active File Recovery is that you can also perform a Partition Recovery. So, if you have format damage to a partition, or you’ve had disk partition loss you can repair it with the professional version of Active File Recovery.

If you’d like to use this software for your business you can get a Corporate license. There are three versions of this program - Standard, professional and Enterprise with prices ranging from $29.95 to $99. Each product comes with free updates and technical support.

If you’d like to try before you buy you can download a demo copy of this program on the main page of the site. Check it out, it sounds like a great software program.

Yup. Uh huh.
