Traffic Cops

In the dead of night, cops disarm a gang member by `red dotting' him with the laser light from a new weapon in the police's arsenal, the Taser. Introduced to combat potentially dangerous offenders, the Taser is no longer just in the hands of specialist firearms officers; in Bedfordshire, the 50,000-volt stun gun is now standard issue for all the force's traffic cops.
