Handcuffing a detained person.

Too many variables without enough info.

All I ask for LEOs is to look for first Alert bracelets. A close friend is epileptic and during a seizure in a store a LAPD officer cuffed her and tried to arrest her for being under the influence instead of calling for a paramedic. Luckily she came out of it fine and he turned around half way to the station. The first alert bracelet was right there touching the handcuff he put on her. Just my 2 cents. Not everyone is a criminal or a druggy and don't need to be cuffed and stuffed do to a brain injury when she almost died at birth.

You're right, but 99% of the people that get the "hooks" thrown on them, earned them to begin with. Not everyone has a first alert bracelet. Especially in the hood.

I am not a LEO, but if you put someone in the back of your car, I would say cuffs would be prudent.

The straight answer? It depends.

They're all wrong, don't listen to them. All else being equal, it's definitely maybe but YMMV and the hat defense could still be a consideration...
