Yeah, we joke about throwing the cuffs on some jagoff and tossing them in the car and taking them to the station. It’s routine. But do you ever stop to realize the awesome power we’ve been granted by the state? We can remove someone from the streets and completely deny them the freedoms granted them by the Constitution of the United States. Call it what you want, but that is a power not granted out of hand to just anyone. That is why there are Rules, Regulations, General Orders of all stripes, Legal Bulletins and everything else. The system was built to be completely at odds with the monarchy of the day.
