For his behavior, he was tasered with an eletric stun gun by the police. Check out the following video,

It seems that Police is increasingly using Taser gun as a toy. Devices such as this should only be used while dealing with a violent criminal, not when somebody asks a question! If you check the video, you can see that Andrew could have been taken out of the hall without using any taser gun. I am not saying what Andrew did was right. But clearly tasering should have been the last option, not the first!

He claims that three people in his Brooklyn district have been killed in traffic accident caused by usage of electronic devices.

So he plans to bring a legislation which will make it a crime to use iPod or any portable device while walking on the streets. The plan is to slap a fine of $100 on violating the ban.

What next? Why don’t they ban all the advertising boards displayed in New York? The sexy models on them can distract drivers and can cause loss of life, right?
