Sažetak
Every democratic state strives to fulfil its functions by the mildest possible means. Police means of coercion are therefore a prominent area where attempts are being made to find such means that will achieve the legally regulated purpose of action with the least harmful consequences. The electric paralyser is a device that exists for about thirty years. Practical experiences and theoretical discussions accumulated during this time have created certain attitudes which need to be considered both in countries that have prescribed the paralyser as a mean of coercion as well in those who are considering its introduction. The research in question consists of six parts. The first part describes the technical possibilities of electric paralyser, the second the medical consequences of its using, the third the history of its use, the fourth the normative possibilities of using electric paralyser in Croatia, the fifth the comparative experiences and recommendations regarding circumstances in which an electric paralyser may be used and the sixth covers the standpoints of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the use of an electric paralyser. In conclusion, it is argued and recommended that the electric paralyser is a welcome means in the narrow area of police work and that in that sense a clear normative framework should be created and police officers should be trained to apply it.
