Who is considered the most dangerous subject to handcuff?

The most dangerous subject to handcuff is often the potentially uncooperative subject. This individual can pose a significant risk because their behavior is unpredictable. While they may appear cooperative at first, the possibility exists that they could suddenly become aggressive or try to resist arrest at any moment. This unpredictability makes them difficult to control, as they may not show their true intentions until after handcuffs are applied.

In contrast, a totally cooperative subject poses little risk, as they willingly comply with procedures and are unlikely to resist. A compliant subject also presents minimal danger, as they do not show any intention to act violently or escape. On the other hand, a totally uncooperative subject could be considered a high risk as well, but their clear refusal to cooperate makes them somewhat more predictable in their behavior compared to someone who is just potentially uncooperative, as they are more likely to follow through with aggressive actions in response to being restrained. Thus, the most dangerous situation arises with a potentially uncooperative individual, who can transition from passive to aggressive without warning.
