Jeffrey Ho, M.D., Agrees To Distribute His Presentation to Palo Alto Taser Task Force

The police chief in Palo Alto CA wants Tasers. The City Council appointed a task force to advise the Council. On March 27, 2007 Jeffrey Ho, M.D. and consultant for Taser Intl., presented to the task force the findings of his research on the effects of Taser on resting adults. On Aug. 6, 2007 a video of that presentation was removed from YouTube, following a claim of copyright infringement. But here we see that as the presentation began, following a request from the deputy district attorney, Ho agreed that the words of his presentation would be distributed to task force members. By California law (the Brown Act), words submitted to officials at a public meeting are public records. So there is no basis for the claim of copyright infringement.
