Trooper's 15 minutes stretch on
Utah's most famous Highway Patrol trooper could face charges for Tasering a motorist during a September traffic stop in Unitah County.
State investigators will give the results of their probe on Trooper Jon Gardner to Tooele County prosecutors, who will decide whether to go forward.
Gardner stopped Jared Massey on suspicion of speeding and the rest is history — or at least a YouTube video seen around the world.
Massey has filed suit, saying that when he screamed after being shocked, the Gardner taunted him by saying, "Hurts, doesn't it?"

Gardner should know, during part of the training the trooper use the taser on each other so they know what it feels like.
I don't feel comfortable knowing that Massey could make it acceptable to drive like hell, speed with impunity and not have to show his ID to a cop.
Are we going to let everyone get away with that?
