205.33 Less than Lethal

If a suspect exhibits violent behaviour during the pursuit but has not harmed anybody prior, you may use a Taser (or beanbag) to apprehend the suspect in order to maintain Officer Safety, so long as taser warnings are given, "Taser, Taser, Taser!".

205.34 Lethal Force

Tennessee V. Garner states that an officer is legally permitted to use lethal force on a suspect given that the officer can prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the suspect is a threat to the public in the event they escape, based on their past actions. This is applicable if a suspect is fleeing a situation in which they maliciously harmed or even killed another. Use of lethal force, citing Tennessee V. Garner, does not require the suspect to be armed at the time they are subject to lethal force.
Lethal Force may also be used in all cases outlined in Sections 202.1 and 202.7.
