Handcuffing

Handcuffing

In the following mentioned case, unreasonable handcuffing was discussed. it appears that, Police can not handcuff just because a person was arrested. 

Kumar v Minister for Immigration, Local Government & Ethnic Affairs (1991) 28 FCR 128

In interpretation, Kyrou J. stated in Slaveski v State of Victoria [2010] VSC 441,

“Lockhart J held that the power of arrest exercised by the officer implied a power to handcuff an arrested person, but only to prevent that person from escaping or endangering the safety or property of other persons. His Honour decided that the handcuffing of the applicant was unreasonable because his conduct had not suggested that he was likely to escape or to act in a violent manner”

If you believe you have been handcuffed unreasonably, you may have legal options. 

About AJ Faisal

I understand people who find themselves facing criminal charges. Most of them are just good people caught in tough situations or have had a disadvantaged life, and I see it as my job to stand by them and make sure their side of the story is told. That’s why I chose to be defence lawyer — not on the other side. Most importantly, just because you did something doesn’t necessarily mean you’re guilty or that what you did was unlawful.

 

Every case is different, and I believe every person deserves to be heard. I like to dig deep, look at things from all angles, and find details that others often miss. I’m creative and open-minded — because sometimes, thinking outside the box can make all the difference. I’ve been passionate about criminal defence since 2019.

 

Since then, I’ve worked on thousands of cases — each one teaching me something new about people, fairness, and second chances. What drives me most is helping clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind. Just give me a call, and you’ll find out that I’m not an ordinary lawyer.
