> handcuffs and detention even though you are not under arrest is insanity No, it's kidnapping. Let the courts deal with it.

  Speaking from experience, the courts are just fine with things like this. Law enforcement don’t have to record their interactions with you, and it’s their word (a respected public official) against yours (a suspected criminal). You may have heard of Mirandizing a suspect, but there’s an emerging phenomenon called Behelerizing. Tell the suspect they’re not under arrest (or claim you told them), even though you’re restraining them, and anything they say (or anything you claim they said) is ruled voluntary and admissible. 3rd world ain’t got nothing on Uncle Sam.

  It’s called being detained. Means the officer has reason to suspect you of something but doesn’t have probable cause. You can see it on cop shows all the time when they arrive to a heated situation. Sometimes they handcuff everyone. How long was this guy detained? Props to him for filing a lawsuit I would’ve just caved to pressure and complained heavily.
