Old bill in doing their job shocker

i think it's also fair to say that these days where little scrotes as young as 13 carry knives with the intention to use them, coppers don't like taking chances, so they cuff them to be on the safe side for both parties involved, it's also should be noted that people are sometimes cuffed so that they don't hurt themselves when in the back of said riot van (which is very common).

ben perhaps you can update me, but from my reading of the police handbook (possibly not called that), people should only be handcuffed under extraordinary circumstances, where they pose a violent threat to themselves or others. empirical evidence suggests that anyone is cuffed for anything.
