What are "hobbles" used for in law enforcement?

To carry suspects securely
To restrain legs and hands
To tie evidence packages
To secure a crime scene

The correct answer is: To restrain legs and hands

"Hobbles" are specialized restraints used in law enforcement primarily to immobilize an individual's legs, often in conjunction with hand restraints. This method is particularly effective when safely transporting individuals who may pose a risk of fleeing or causing harm during an arrest or while in custody. Using hobbles enables law enforcement officers to maintain control over a suspect’s movement, minimizing the risk of escape or aggression, while still allowing for some movement of the upper body. This technique promotes safety for both the officers and the individual being restrained. The other options, while related to law enforcement activities, do not accurately reflect the specific function of hobbles as a means of leg and hand restraint.
