The Florida Highway Patrol officer who tased a Lee County teen, violated policy. The officer tased a teen after he looked “suspicious” darting through the bushes.
Said Sawyer C. Smith, Rodeman’s attorney, “they’re kids. Kids walk to where they need to go, and kids cut through bushes.”
Florida Highway Patrol policy states "tasers should only be used when there's a sudden attack or active resistance." Rodeman's actions are consiered passive resistance.
