Assuming someone doesn’t have hands, how do you detain them? If they were to be sitting in the back of a police car they could still cause some pretty decent havoc.
You can hog tie them in that case.
Um, why would one need to handcuff someone with no hands?
Wouldn’t it be easier to simply break their collarbones?
Well, if they were missing just their hands they could be fighting and whomping someone with their arm-stumps, which might call for restraint. They could probably manage to tie the remaining arm-bits together with those plastic tie cuffs.
If they have artificial arms those could do some damage with someone intent on trouble, in which case I suppose you could remove said arms and throw them in the trunk of a squad car, thereby dis-arming the perpetrator (sorry - couldn’t resist).
Some folks born with no or vestigial arms are quite adept with their legs and feet. If such a person were resisting arrest they might need to be restrained, in which case I suppose you could cuff their ankles together.
Just because someone is handicapped doesn’t mean they can’t commit crimes, freak out for whatever reason, or get into fights.
Haven’t you ever heard of the One-Armed Man from “The Fugitive”? :D:D
"Haven’t you ever heard of the One-Armed Man from “The Fugitive”?
Handcuffing someone like that was recently discussed. Strange this question should reappear, as if anyone here would ever have chance that they need to handcuff such a person.
For whatever reason, that phrase just made my day. It’s a gruesomely wonderful picture.
I would guess that you could bind someone above the elbows with this plastic ties rather easily. IANAPO.
Or get 'em by the ear, angry mother style. That hurts like hell.
But what if they had no ears, either?
Hmm… what if someone was causing a disturbance and had no body? Guess you could call Egon and the rest of those jack-asses and use proton-packs.
