I'm a fan of the television "COP" shows like PD and Cops.
So many times the cop slaps the cuffs on a driver and says "you're just being detained." I think that statement is wrong. I think the cop should say "You're being restrained."
Now if the driver volunteers to stay put during the investigation, that would be "being detained."
At what point does restraint become the multiple act of restraint and detention?????? If you are in cuffs you ain't going nowhere! Putting cuffs on an innocent man is a violation of his freedom. There must be a rule about this somewhere?
Any LEOs out there care to comment?
