So why are they used instead of regular handcuffs?

Also what's the difference between being detained and arrested?

Asked by Josbtr over 11 years ago

Disposable restraints tend to be lighter and more compact than metal chain or hinged handcuffs. Depending on policy, an officer may choose to use them instead of traditional handcuffs for the weight and space savings. Additionally, they can be used in a mass arrest situation since more of them can be carried by each officer.

There is a huge difference between being detained and arrested. If you have been arrested, you are being charged with a specific crime and supported by probable cause. If you are being detained, officers have established reasonable, articulable suspicion that you may have committed a crime and they are now investigating to see if a crime has been committed.

Hello Sir,

I am checking if a PND issued in a police station for Shoplifting is ever deleted from some ones record? COnsidering this is the only offence the person ever committed.

Asked by Question1 over 11 years ago

I have no idea what a PND is.

Generally, if you have ever been charged with a crime, then it is part of your official criminal history.
