Verbal abuse alone by the offender cannot be the basis under any circumstances for use of non-deadly physical force by a security force officer.","path":["Title 14—Aeronautics and Space","CHAPTER V—NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION","PART 1203b—SECURITY PROGRAMS; ARREST AUTHORITY AND USE OF FORCE BY NASA SECURITY FORCE PERSONNEL"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-14.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:20Z","sha256":"aa3796ddbdbb042848b61586b7397ac4ada710ac7630f8c1300f7e8d520d515e","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/14-cfr-1203b.104","next":"us/14-cfr-1203b.106"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
