Its up to the officer to justify if cuffs are required.
This is quite useful.

Rise of single crewed I expect has led to more people getting cuffed. I have known non complaint super polite folk cuffed just because the officer was poorly trained.
My force in the last 10 years A&S seems to recruit a lot of people who are not suited to police work and now we have sarges in bristol drawing tasers for a stop and chat and if you fail to give you name the x26 is deployed and you get 50, 000 volts, the sarg in question was not in danger and not alone. It was like watching a dog hump a slipper, it was clear the two officers didn't have a clue what they were doing or how to deal with a man who was innocent and wanted to be left alone. Its concerning as officers like this will come across people with learning difficulties and if they don't give their name they get tased.

Is this the one where they tasered their own black race relations advisor?

Who sued them successfully in 2009 oh yes. You couldn't this is not a dig at the folk in blue, just a&s as they stand are a shambles. Scandal after scandal officer after officer who seems to not have a clue how to deal with people.You couldn't make it up really.

Still at least they had the decency to drop the charges once the video went viral.La Liga said:
like how people can read an article and that be their summary of the matter i.e. Tasered because he didn't give a name.
Wind your neck the footage is on YouTube! Member of the public said he was his neighbour and tried to help them, a large guy and a well built female sarge, awkwardly try show they haven't a first clue in controlling a 9 stone 5ft 63 year old man who is skinny as my 9 year old. They cannot even stop him walking around and the sarge has her taser out when the guy shows little or no agression. She then as her colleague struggles to get a grip on him without warning or care for the pc getting tased, deployed the taser! And warns afterwards.
It's so painful to watch it's like a couple of retards trying to shag a door knob.

Yes, thanks for the incorrect summary. They cannot even stop him walking around and the sarge has her taser out when the guy shows little or no agression. She then as her colleague struggles to get a grip on him without warning or care for the pc getting taxed deployed the taser.

As I alluded to, there's an extensive topic about it on PH. You should infer that because I know that I am aware of the footage etc.
