Can you sue for warping your brain

Question

My brother was shot by the police with a taser which gave him an erection that wouldn't go down for days. I said he should sue them for the anguish and embarrassment it caused him in public but he says he's now trying to buy one.

Answer 1

If this is in the UK - You cannot sue the UK Police force for anything, they have some sort of exemption. This was tested in court just last week.

On another interesting note - a stiffy that stays for days - get me a taser.

Answer 2

You can sue for anything, but you won't necessarily win.  If it was such a horrible experience, the fact that he wants to buy one won't help his case.

Also, the fact that he got tased by the police and then wants to do it to himself tells me that he's an idiot.  Good luck with that.

Answer 3

That's funny, but not much grounds for a law suit.  Won't go anywhere.  Sorry.

Answer 4

Well it depends on why he was shot with the tazer. If it was his fault and he was arrested then no. the police were in reasonable limits however if they didnt have a reason and he can prove it then yes he  can sue

Answer 5

goddamn. My granddaddy would like it

Answer 6

I had an erection for 10 years that I was proud of...

The cops didn't like that too much either,

Can't please them all!

Answer 7

no, there is a certain penal code that protects police officers from frivolous lawsuits such as the one you mentioned...And the courts would just say your Brother is the one that caused it, because he must have done something to be tased.

Answer 8

lol HE WENT OUT?? i'd thought he'd be busy

Answer 9

hahahahahahah

Answer 10

Tell your brother he can just choke himself like the guy from that band.  It does the same thing apparently.

Answer 11

it's obvious that this will be proved sometime.. but going against the police for it is not the best way.. you're going against a lot more than one person.. you're going against there whole right to use tasers and use their discretion in these situations and you need a lot more money to do that.. write a book or something if you wanna be heard here.. seriously.. even a book wouldn't work.. if someone but a cop did that you'd have case because you wouldn't be going against the legal system.. and courts are legal too and they tend to defend there own.. obviously it is controlled but sometimes it can't be.. but i think you're better not suing for something that silly.. we all wish we could.. but we're not the queen of england.. we deal with it

Answer 12

go ahead and sue!

just don't let him buy one. that wouldn't look so good in court. :/

Answer 13

If he could sue him, he could do so for physical damages if anything. Warnings about seeing a doctor if an erection lasts more than four hours exist for a reason. That is because people men only have enough blood supply to the p***s to last that amount of time, and erections lasting longer than that is going to do some physical damage.

Needless to say, nobody should seek out such an experience again.

Answer 14

Ha! Ha! thats great!

Answer 15

No your Brother wouldn't be able to sue lol. What was he tasered for in the first place.

Answer 16

you can sue but you wont win . . your brother did somthing that made the police shoot him. And it is thier job to do that stuff

Answer 17

Can you buy them , if not i will have to go and punch a copper

Answer 18

IF THATS  THE CAUSE.. GET THE FACTS  AND SUE THEM.

Answer 19

hahah

then i think he liked it too much to be eligible to sue

Answer 20

how can he prove that??? he can't so he aint gonna have much chance of sueing  

Answer 21

If you're in America, you can sue anyone for pretty much anything. I he does sue he'll probably lose. Tasering cases usually always favor the police because there is no permanent damage. Embrassment won't mean much in court especially if his behavior was deemed hostile in any way.

Answer 22

I say sue. More money.

Answer 23

Maybe your brother needs an easy girlfriend more than he needs a lawyer *smiles*.

Answer 24

y did ur bro get shot

Answer 25

Warping your brain?

Viagra hurts less and probably works better.  

Answer 26

pmsl

Answer 27

hahahahahahahaha thats funny!! he should sue em and use the money to buy the Taser!!!

Answer 28

Well, what was he doing to have him tasered by the police in the first place? If nothing, that is grounds for suing, but was he doing something illegal....because then they had every right to taser him despite any later effects.

Answer 29

hahahahahahahahahahahaha oh my god thats awesomely funny
