Do not use a CEW to coerce a subject to give what?

• A. Verbal defiance, belligerence, punishment, horseplay
• B. Statements or perform an illegal act
• C. A confession
• D. Compliance with lawful orders

Answer: (B)

Coercion with a CEW is not appropriate. The device is meant to create a momentary incapacitation to stop a threat and gain safe control, not to force someone to say something or to commit an illegal act. The best choice highlights the exact coercive outcomes you must avoid: making a person provide a statement or forcing them to perform an illegal act. That framing directly reflects the improper use of a CEW for extracting information or inducing illegal action. The other options describe behavior or outcomes that aren’t about coercing someone to reveal information or commit a crime, so they don’t address the specific misuse addressed by this question.
