Why do handcuffs require this time wasting extra step of awkwardly inserting a little pick inside it to "lock them"?
All it ever does is give the criminals one last chance to pull away and add more charges to the list.
Can any of you cops here explain what the deal is?

Female cops were being overpowered and handcuffed by the criminals

Handcuffs aren't real. You are just brainwashed from a young age to be unable to move your hands.

if you had an above room temp iq you could work it out on your own what was going on in your pic

>>510759151 (OP)
not a cop but the answer is that it locks them into place, so they cannot get tighter.

The question is implicitly "why don't they just lock automatically", the answer to which is to prevent over-tightening. If every progressive ratchet was locked in until you inserted the key, then it would be easy for them to become inadvertently too tight, which is prevented by locking it in a fixed position via a key

>>510759151 (OP)
That’s to stop them closing not opening. So you can’t close them further and hurt yourself and waste peoples time having to open them so your hands don’t fall off.
I hope this helps though why you would need simple, obvious things like this explaining i dunno. You could use a search engine even.

Yes

This. Modern politicking is a revenue generation and exeumcution service. Has nothing to do with enforcing the law.

torture cuffs

This is only addressing the problem, not the solution.

>>510759151 (OP)
Its to give niggers comfort otherwise when they move or resist even more the cuffs don't break their wrists.

Ex zogbot here, used to be a defensive tactics and arrest and control instructor. My day job was in corrections, mostly receiving. You check for tightness on handcuffs by feeling the gap between the wrist and the bars of the cuffs, then you use the nub on the back of the key to engage the double lock mechanism. It’s established in case law (can’t remember which case, been out for around 4 years) that the officer placing the restraints shall check for tightness and engage the double lock mechanism as part of regular procedure. If the cuffs aren’t double locked they can become tighter over time and if they aren’t tight enough they can be slipped. The locking mechanism ratchets and it doesn’t take much force to move to the next position. I have on at least two occasions received unconscious arrestees who had been cuffed without this procedure being followed. Both of them had significant injuries to the skin on their wrists from the cuffs. One of them had drunkly writhed in the back of the car and managed to avulse the skin from his wrists. The overwhelming majority of cops are evil retarda btw.

It's a double lock. It makes them harder to pick and won't keep tightening down on their wrist causing injury

>>510759745
It does both.
To unlock them you insert the key and turn it toward the double lock, unlocking it, then you turn the key the other way and it pushes down the ratchet so you can open them.
I used to work in a handcuff factory

You really think any of the smooth brain retards on this gay board have jobs?

>Ow you hurting me!
>I aint resisting!
>I cant breathe!
>The cuffs are too tight!!
>Let me call my mom really quick!

I don’t see how the picture helps at all and >>510759237
has the closest to correct answer

All things white people say when arrested too. Its cucked you would just accept somebody putting you in shakles

>>510759151 (OP)
I watch a lot of cop and detective shows. and I noticed a trend. a lot of the time when criminals run, it often does happen when getting cuffed for some reason. I see so many times when the cops turn them around and announce they're going to cuff them, maybe the reality sets in they aren't talking their way out or something and they flee, cause they could have took off any other time during this.

one clever trick I have seen a few cops use is like, making the criminal think its part of some search or sobriety test. like one made this drunk driver do all those tests like walking etc, and at the end says "ok last test, I want you to put both hands together behind you" *cuffs them* "you're under arrest"
they didn't have time to freak out and flee, I think its a nice way around this situation

>>510763302
they should just have them cross feet before cuffing

>>510759151 (OP)
it locks the cuffs, preventing them from tightening
