The handcuffs dont need to be metal, I was thinking more like plastic banding with thin steel strips in. They would only be used to detain an individual until the police actaully turn up.
And yes, its easier to get a down swing going if the Torch is already up there! |

zipties work just fine as handcuffs and are easy to store in a baton shaped device. |

But you better not use them in the US, unless you want to be arrested for false imprisonment. |

I'm surprised at that, however in the uk you can use cuffs if you have attended the correct courses and hold the relevant certifactes. Of course its not illegal to own them..... |

From my days in security you could tell people to leave, but you could not make them stay. Unless you were a real cop. |

As long as only reasonble force is used, you can make them stay! |

Reasonable force being defined as asking "Pretty please" sotto voce, while avoiding a hostile body posture? |
