The Court of Appeal determined that the use of a Taser against Edwin Afriyie was not 'objectively reasonable', contrasting a prior ruling that upheld police actions.
City of London Police expressed disappointment over the Court of Appeal's ruling, indicating they would need time to consider further steps regarding the case.
Mr. Afriyie was initially detained for failing to provide a breath sample and sustained injuries after being Tasered while conversing with a friend.
Lord Justice William Davis emphasized that a proper evaluation of the situation would have deemed the use of a firearm not justified in this context.
