Probably as a thank you for my 25 years of #OpenSource work, someone called the police on me and had be #SWAT'ed & #handcuffed while live-streaming t2 #Linux...
“Law enforcement officers typically have fairly broad leeway to place someone in handcuffs during an interaction if they believe that it’s necessary to protect themselves from harm. In those cases, they can do so even if the person being handcuffed hasn’t been arrested.”
You get handcuffed as a precaution. You do not have to be arrested. You can het handcuffed on a traffic stop if the officer decides they have cause to search your car. Etc.
Just because handcuffung is normal in the USA, that doesnt make it normal or sensible. No one gets cuffed in a normal traffic stop or house visit in the UK for example.
Was he arrested? I don’t see follow up. It only says he was handcuffed which would be standard until they know what’s going on.

Handcuffs do not mean an arrest.
This is in Germany, idk what laws in the US have to do with this
OK, here it’s the other way around, you don’t normally handcuff somebody unless they are arrested.

Some cops will go a step further and shoot you first; as a precaution, of course.
Or your dog. Safety first!

Being detained while an investigation is conducted is not being arrested.
Factually inaccurate.
