Taser Tactics
Four Corners sees Grace Tobin puts police taser use under scrutiny, and the role played by the device's manufacturer, Axon.
Police across Australia have embraced tasers over the past two decades.
The weapons are meant to be a safer way to stop dangerous situations, without taking a life. But people are still dying.
This week Four Corners reveals the secretive tactics behind investigations into controversial deaths, and the role played by the device's manufacturer, Axon.
Reported by Grace Tobin from the ABC's investigative reporting team, Taser Tactics features an in-depth interview with the family of 95-year-old Clare Nowland, who died after being tasered in a nursing home in 2023, as well as shocking footage of a farmer being tasered within seconds of a police encounter on private property.
For the first time, the program examines how a multibillion-dollar US tech giant has made itself indispensable to police in every state and territory.
At its core, Taser Tactics asks a simple question: When something goes wrong after a taser is used, who decides what actually happened?
