    Security minister announces Argentine forces are allowed to use tasers

    Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said the new tools would give officers “an additional tactical option in lieu of firearms”.<br />

    Argentine federal police and security forces will now be allowed to use non-lethal weapons like electric tasers, following a Security Ministry decree signed on Monday. Officers will “be able to deal with situations” which do not require the use of force “without employing firearms,” the decree reads.
