In stark contrast to Jimmy's softer "policing in blazers", tonight I arrested a rather overweight guy on a traffic stop for some minor warrants out of a small agency in Burlington County. They wanted to take him into custody but couldn't spare the manpower for the hour-plus drive. We had a full shift so I agreed to meet them in Trenton for the hand-off and save them some time.
I quickly realized that one set of handcuffs wasn't going to cut it for my guy unless I separated his shoulder first. I called over another officer to link two sets of handcuffs together since it would be a bit of a ride for him. Another senior officer showed up. He's retiring next year and I never noticed his handcuffs before. Such a salty old veteran! I'm taking these out of his locker when he retires!
