So the legislative branch of government makes the laws. The executive branch of government which consists of the police enforces the laws. As such I believe its the legislative branch which sets the regulations as to what kind of methods and tools police can use. For instance, in states such as NJ until recently police could not use tasers in states such as NJ because tasers were banned in NJ and that included police use. I believe the ban on tasers in states such as NJ has recently been overturned so tasers will soon be available for purchase in NJ by anybody whose 18 or older. When they will be available for purchase and if and when police will start using them in NJ I'm not sure but presumably soon. Anyway, the point is that its the legislative branch that decides what tools and methods police can use and so if I don't want police using a certain tool or method the thing to do would be to go to the legislative branch and talk to them about it. (BTW Im not against police using tasers and I know that they currently do use them and have been using them in states where they're allowed to.)
