Question

Are handcuffs used on hands or legs of accused?

Community Answer

Hands, hence the name "handcuffs". For the legs you'll want legcuffs, but these are not usually necessary.

Police possess the authority to arrest you if they either have an arrest warrant signed by a judge, have witnessed you commit a crime or have reasonable suspicion that you have committed a crime.

Question

Which handcuffs are the best to use?

Miguel

Community Answer

Use rigid or hinged handcuffs. You can twist rigid cuffs to make someone comply, and you can use different positions: front palms inward, front stacked, rear stacked (front hands stacked and cuffed but behind the back) and rear palms facing outwards.
