“In drive-stun mode, ‘the operator removes the dart cartridge and pushes two electrode contacts located on the front of the taser directly against the victim. In this mode, the taser delivers an electric shock ...[,] but does not cause an override of the victim’s central nervous system as it does in dart-mode.’”

5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“We have observed that “[t]he volatility of situations involving domestic violence” makes them particularly dangerous. United States v. Martinez, 406 F.3d 1160 , 1164 (9th Cir.2005). “When officers respond to a domestic abuse call, they understand that violence may be lurking and explode with little warning. Indeed, more officers are killed or injured on domestic violence calls than on any other type of call.” Id. (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). We have also “recognized that the exigencies of domestic abuse cases present dangers that, in an appropriate ease, may override considerations of privacy.” United States v. Black, 482 F.3d 1035 , 1040 (9th Cir.2007) (internal quotation marks omitted).”
