I am surprised that you are that afraid of being Tased. In the old days, you would have been Maced, sapped, slapjacked, beat down with a night stick or a flashlight, or all of the above. Most of those would have required a trip to the hospital, and charges filed against you to protect the officer.
I recently saw several women at a LE trade show volunteering to get zapped with a Taser and most of them didn't even scream. They just collapsed, and were back up and in control of themselves within seconds.
Easiest way to avoid Tasing, if you are that worried, is to comply with the officer's instructions, whether you agree with them or not. I don't see too many people getting lit up who are cooperating and compliant. 
Good luck!
