A criminal defence lawyer is campaigning for a taser gun review after police used the weapon on a 16-year-old girl.

Queensland police face disciplinary action after they held down and used a taser on a 16-year-old girl who had defied an order to move on because she was waiting for an ambulance to treat her sick friend.

The Crime and Misconduct Commission and police ethical standards unit are investigating the April incident that happened during a year-long trial of tasers.

The girl had a charge of obstructing police dismissed after the Children's Court ruled last week that one of the two officers involved did not give adequate directions.

Magistrate Pam Dowse criticised the police officers for overreacting.

Brisbane criminal defence lawyer Michael Bosscher said this incident highlighted a need to review the use of taser guns.

"While a gun is regarded as a last resort and lethal weapon, there is a real fear police could use a taser as a first resort weapon," Mr Bosscher said.

"It's fast and it incapacitates a person instantly and can be deployed without thinking.

"Without strict controls on its use, we could see tasers being used for the wrong reasons.

"The April incident with the teenage girl suggests this has already happened."
