Not a lawyer, non of this is legal advice.
As I understand it, you can mag dump as long as you manage to do it before the subject falls down, drops their weapon or otherwise clearly ceases to be a threat.
You as a civilian can't really shoot at a target you don't see, just in a general direction. This is endangerment of other potential people that may be in the area.
Cops shouldn't do it either but they are not punished in anyway for it.
