to the PARAMEDIC KNOW-IT-ALL or what ever. When a person is being shocked by a taser....the whole world can touch them and they will feel NOTHING! I have seen a hundred plus officers get tased, and they were all held on too by 2 other officer. One on each arm and they were holding tight. NO SHOCK! The taser is 50,000 volts, but it is less then 1 joule. They only way to get shocked when an officer is tasing someone, it to hit the wires. That is what happened to Officers Doyle, she came in contact
