Q&A for How to Handcuff a Person

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.

After handcuffing a suspect, a police officer needs to put the suspect in the back of their police car and take them to the nearest police station.

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.
