    The law says jails and police have a “duty to care” for those in their custody, which would include being aware of, and sensitive to, any medical conditions you might have. So, in fact, yes.

    However, police, jails, and those responsible for overseeing them have more than demonstrated their willingness to ignore what the law plainly says. So, in practice, it depends.

    Always wear a large sign on your back (they taser always from behind), saying:

    “Do not taser!
    Heart condition!”

    That will make them taser you twice as good, so it is over quickly.

    The answer to questions about law always depend on what country you are talking about.

    Anything goes in this bizarre new world. Cops’ll kick the shit out of you on the street and then be very careful you don’t hit your head when putting you in their car.

    If they’re just going around tasing people just for the fun of it then yeah I guess they’d be responsible. But if you’re shivving inmates and throwing around prison napalm and shit and they end up tasing you, too bad
