Is it dangerous to wear handcuffs during thunderstorms?

In most cases, there is no difference. However, experienced police officers will "prescribe the right medicine" to different situations, environments, and criminal suspects, and choose to handcuff behind the back or handcuff in the front.

Handcuffs are the most commonly used restraint device by state dictatorship agencies. The purpose is to restrict the activities of criminals or criminal suspects, prevent them from escaping, and protect the personal safety of police officers to the greatest extent.

According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Use of Police Equipment and Weapons by the People's Police", when criminals may escape, commit murder, commit suicide, self-injury, or engage in other dangerous behaviors, they may use handcuffs, shackles, and police equipment. Rope and other restraint police equipment.

In practice or in movies and TV dramas, we often see some criminals or suspects being handcuffed from behind, while others are handcuffed from the front. Some people say that "handcuffing from behind" means that the person is a serious criminal. "Cuffing" means that the person's criminal behavior is minor and does not pose too much danger.

So is this really the case? In fact, no. Both "front handcuffing" and "backhand handcuffing" can play a role in restricting activities. The method chosen generally corresponds to the environment and the purpose to be achieved:

1. Application scenarios of "back-cuffing"

First of all, let's be clear. "Back-cuffing" generally occurs during the arrest process. When the criminal suspect has been subdued and put into a detention center or prison, it is generally not Of course, there are exceptions to "cuffing" people behind their backs, which we will talk about below. Generally speaking, "back handcuffs" are suitable for the following scenarios:

1. Commonly used in "the arrest process"; when arresting criminal suspects, the police can use handcuffs for some extremely vicious criminals. Generally, the suspect will be asked to lie on the ground, or squat down with his head in his hands. In this case, it is more suitable to "cuff behind his back", and he can be handcuffed by pushing his hands back;

2. Suitable for "Strong" criminal suspects; Compared with "front handcuffing", the biggest advantage of "back handcuffing" is that it can better restrict the ability to move and dispel the idea of ????escape and resistance of criminals or suspects to the greatest extent;

3. "Cuffing behind the back" can limit running; when a person is running, the faster the arms swing, the faster the running speed. Compared with arms held in front of the body, the running speed of the back of the hands is slower. Some. Therefore, when it is found that the arrested person may escape, "back handcuffing" is more conducive to restricting his running;

4. "Back handcuffing" is convenient for escorting; after backcuffing, a policeman on the left and right will catch him Two arms are enough, which is more advantageous than just grabbing his shoulders after "front handcuffing"; in addition, backcuffing and escorting involves the police behind and the suspect in front, which can better ensure the safety of the police; < /p>

In addition to the above application scenarios, "back handcuffing" can also play a "deterrence" role to the greatest extent. After all, back handcuffing requires two arms to be pulled back, which is extremely painful, especially for those with larger bodies. Fat suspect.

In short, "backhand cuffing" is common in the arrest process. The more arrogant and resistive the suspect is, the better his physical fitness, and the more outrageous ideas he has (such as harmfulness, escape, suicide and self-harm). When arresting someone, the probability of "backcuffing" increases. After all, the police have to take into account both the "intactness" of the arrested person and their own personal safety when arresting.

Of course, for some criminal suspects who are arrested but refuse to confess their crimes, they may be "cuffed behind their backs" during interrogation in order to make them "uncomfortable" and break their psychological defenses.

2. The application scenarios of "front handcuffing"

The application scenarios of "front handcuffing" are more commonly used in practice, and are basically opposite to the application scenarios of "reverse handcuffing", such as :

Suitable for some criminal suspects who do not resist, and some who are not dangerous, even handcuffs are omitted;

Back-cuffing is mostly suitable for those involved in criminal cases. , Formal handcuffs are mostly applied to parties involved in civil cases, such as Lao Lai, those who violate public security regulations, or those who are not "harmful" and whose illegal and criminal acts are obviously minor and may only be sentenced to administrative detention;

Also One situation is to "save face" for a criminal suspect, such as arresting him in public and covering his hands with a piece of clothing after cuffing him to prevent others from stopping to watch and point fingers.

Write at the end:

To sum up, in practice, there is no explicit rule that it must be "front handcuffing" or "back handcuffing". The choice is often based on arrest or case handling experience. , compared with "front handcuffing", "reverse handcuffing" is more painful, more deterrent, and more able to restrict activities, so it is often suitable for suspects in criminal cases and suspects who are more harmful.

In addition to the front handcuffs and back handcuffs mentioned above, there are also other methods, such as leg cuffs, object cuffs, hand and foot cuffs, object cuffs, escort cuffs, cross-body cuffs, etc. For some extremely heinous and dangerous criminals, it is also possible to use "horse cuffs", that is, handcuffs and shackles are used together. The criminal's hands are cuffed behind his back and then connected to the shackles to restrict his activities to the greatest extent.
