A US lawyer is cautioning New Zealand police to think twice about becoming more reliant on American taser and drone supplier Axon.
The police are poised to replace their old Axon tasers with new ones that shoot further.
They also use an Axon system called evidence.com to store footage from taser cameras and interview videos.
Axon also sells body worn cameras, but police here have just ruled out using them Attorney Max Isaacs is an adviser to the former independent ethics board at Axon that quit last year over its putting tasers on drones.
He says charging forward with this is irresponsible.
Reporter Phil Pennington spoke to Isaacs.
