i'd go with proper and complete verbal instructions and giving him a chance to comply before starting anything physical (assisted by weapons or otherwise)... but i'm anti-cop like that.
i honestly believe a simple chat outside the car would do wonders
"you can and will be arrested for not signing the ticket. signing it does not admit guilt just acknowledges you received it - you can fight it in court later if you want.do you wish to sign the ticket?"
"No."
"Ok, i am now placing you under arrest for <something> please place your hands behind your back"
no need to get out the taser before the cop even gets the words out of his mouth either.
edit: just want to clarify - even though i'm quoting you, maxpower, these points aren't meant to disagree with what you're saying... there's been confusion about that before - just getting that outta the way
