“Every day in this supposedly free country, police commit an act that was impermissible for their antecedents in imperial Rome: In the name of ‘officer safety,’ they handcuff American citizens who are not criminal suspects while conducting investigations. Police also routinely inflict summary punishment – using batons, Tasers, pepper spray, or other means – against those who resist being detained without cause. Within a few years police will have at their disposal handcuffs that can impart electrical shocks to detainees.”
