Not that I have any sympathy for perps that run from the police but that method of restraint pictured above doesn’t look very comfortable. I know ALL the cops in the US use that: hands cuffed behind the back, placed in the back seat, but are they TRYING to aggravate people? It seems to work (the aggravation part of it) from all the cop videos I see on YT.
I believe the purpose of the behind the back cuffs is for the protection of both the police officer and the arrested one. His comfort is not as issue here.
Some agencies apply leg shackles or chain the handcuffs to an eye-bolt in the rear floor of the patrol car. These steps have the same effect and intent, but reduce the number of injured officers and rear windows and protective partitions kicked out patrol cars. https://www.police1.com/police-products/vehicle-equipment/partitions/articles/13-ways-to-make-cageless-transport-less-risky-cvFITjUR1nUdyIGe/
Considering his history, Mr. Frazier is a hardhead. Maybe a few years in Reidsville will soften it up a bit.
