What will they think up next? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX6bnEqA2ZA"]YouTube- ROBO RESTRAINT 6A .
Some of these are being installed on the window sills of squad cars. It cuffs the suspect to the car. A mobile stockade of sorts. Might be a good idea as long as an absent-minded cop doesn't drive off after forgetting about a suspect cuffed on the outside of the car. .
This whole concept rather made me smirk. For the person who would just surrender or place their hands as directed by any officer, I can not really see what the benefit would be. For someone who is going to resist, I can not really see them walking up to the car and placing their hands in the restraints. I could see the advantage if an officer is alone on patrol and needs to stop someone but again it is dependent on the co-operation of the person being stopped. I wonder what the actual officers think of these?
