Yes, eye test and hearing tests are done at medical.

Carried out a risk assessment but failed to notice that the guy was blind? You couldn't make it up or maybe you could eh?

Perhaps you would also benefit from an eye test ? As in your statement "it's not the first time Lancashire police have done this" the two quoted incidents are two completely different forces.

From the BBC report there-

"The man has accepted our apology and does not wish to make a complaint however we will continue to review the situation."

Police to now issue all officers with night vision goggles as strategy moving forward...

You are correct, I should have written police in Lancashire.

May I take this opportunity to sincerely apologise to you and all members of both forces for any distress this has caused.

Your apology has been accepted, however we will continue to review the situation.

Yes , and the quite a lot naturally gravitate towards the police , but they KNOW that to taser a blind person would cause a storm
