7. The five of us who remember appreciate the reference

But don't forget, first you confuse the issue and make people think it was maybe your brother-in-law instead.

10. I have no idea how police do it in the field, but...

my cousin used to be a prison guard and they use waist-chains for that, he says. They have a chain that goes around the waist and locks that has an O-link on it and they handcuff one end of the cuffs to the O-link and the other around the prisoner's wrist. I'd assume if they knew the suspect they were going to arrest was a bit less handy than usual that they'd do the same thing. They also makes ones with the handcuffs permanently attached to the waist-chain (pictured below) that are more-common but he said he'd be reticent to use those in this circumstance because if the perp/prisoner could grab the empty cuff and work the chain up or down to someplace that they could get arm-extension, it'd make a brutal bludgeoning weapon (think brass knuckles).



A perfunctory Google search says "beltloop on the way to the cruiser" then "to the prisoner-cage once in the cruiser."

12. Some departments buy a special handcuff with just one bracelet, but most just put both

bracelets on the only available wrist

[jberryhill]

13. Ummm....

And then what?

[struggle4progress]

14. Not sure what you're asking. I guess then they put the perp in the back seat of the

unicycle and head downtown as usual

[jberryhill]

15. And with two new shiny bracelets on one wrist?

16. Policeman friend of mine handcuffed one good arm to his prosthetic arm

My friend was breaking up a fight with another officer. After he cuffed the one-armed guy he turned to help his fellow officer.
Fortunately he turned around to see the first guy raising the prosthesis above his head like a club.

17. Thumb cuffs. One to his thumb and one to his...well, you know

As for one arm girls, no idea.
