Arresting a one armed man?

[Bob A Job]

How do the police handcuff a one armed man?

[mattie]

I imagine that the would cuff him to another policeman.

Interesting question.

They have a special handcuff (singular) for single armed persons. They're mostly used on one arm bandits.

Nice one landie

[netibiza]

oh landie you made me laugh - wouldn't they use leg-irons?

[bruce5755]

landie  You're a nutcase!  They would probably let him go as he's "no arm to anyone"

[rojash]

They lend him one of a pair of prosthetic arms, which they carry for just such an occasion.

[landie]

I thank you kindly for your appreciation:-)

I would have thought that as the man was 'armless', they would use shackles.

[Bob A Job]

Seriously guys....

What if you handcuffed a guy with a prostetic arm, couldnt he just detach it and use it as a club?

Is a bank job with one armed men the perfect crime?

[landie]

Honestly, I've seen a handcuff in use on a unidextrous man.

Apparrently he was breaking into a second-hand shop.

Your all wrong, the police just leave one side of the handcuffs unlocked.

[smudge]

Oh landie, that did make me larf!

[smudge]

And your post too keith!

It's always fab to put a face to a name.

And is that the snooker bloke with you? He looks familiar.

[netibiza]

laughed out loud again landie and keith - keep it up guys you're 'armless

[gpb]

The police would have to give him a hand.

My controller (wife) says that I make her laugh. She's not supposed to be looking.

I haven't spoken to her for three years, I don't like to interrupt her.
