Good job doing your job well. A lot of people think handcuffs mean something bad. They’re first and foremost an uncertainty reduction tool.

What gets a little scary is verifying identity of those that forcibly take custody of you. While it is a crime to impersonate law enforcement, criminals don’t seem to mind committing crimes. AFAICT, there’s no way to verify identity prior to choosing compliance with authority vs. life saving resistance against a criminal attacker.
