A Canadian cop is in trouble for using his taser to try to coerce a couple of suspects to snitch..

Constable Christopher Hominuk has already arrested two suspects, placing them in the back of seperate police cars. He wants information on where other suspects are, so he grabs his taser and presses it to the genitals of Robert James Bolgan, 47.

He demands to know where the other guys are. When Bolgan says he doesn't know, Hominuk tells him. "If you are lying to me, when I get you back at the station, I'm Tasering you in the f*cking nuts,"

Hominuk then heads to the second patrol car to confront suspect, Roger William Bradshaw, 39. He presses the taser to Bradshaw's neck and demands to know where his accomplices are and threatens to taser him in the genitals.

This incident happened on May 24, 2010, but the tape was just released because the officer has plead guilty to one threat of causing bodily harm.

"This officer's actions are disgraceful, completely unacceptable and shocking," said police spokesman Mark Pugash. "One of the reasons we had these in-car cameras installed was the protection of both officers and the public.

"We could identify the frivolous complaints and the serious ones, as we did in this case, and followed it up with an investigation by professional standards, which led to this charge."

Hominuk will be sentenced in June and has been suspended with pay since being charged last June
