I have never understood this statement. Perhaps a thread where it can be adequately discussed would be appropriate. I do not see how restraining me would make me more safe. Yes, it might be more safe for the officer, but not me.

Maybe in a domestic violence situation it would keep you and the other party from fighting. Tempers might be flaring, officer doesnt know at this point maybe who is doing what. Maybe your safety from the officer if you are uncuffed and move behind him you could get tazed, even if you were just getting comfortable. Some officers are very jumpy and skittish.

Why not toss them the cuffs or zip tie and make them do it themselves? they can pull a tie tight with their teeth, I have done it many times having to hold the object being tied. Make them cuff themselves to a sturdy rail if possible, you can visually see if it looks tight enough. But i agree, stay away. I have seen in movies where they shove the 1911 into a body and pull the trigger....disconnector anyone?
