What comes to your mind first when you see a person in handcuffs?

I think about Harry Houdini and how he was able to escape from any handcuffs in the world (he challenged all most famous police all over the world to keep him imprisoned). That's what first comes to my mind, really. I am a fan of Houdini.

That person must have commit a crime

Honestly? First thing that comes to mind for me is "Sucker!" LOL then I wonder what they did to get busted in the first place..

As a past security guard,my first question would be if the officer had his key with him to take them off. Believe me,I forgot mine once,and it took a long time for me to find it,so they were not able to lock him up till I got them off. Boy,was my face red. But one thing to remember,not everyone that is in handcuffs are being arrested for a crime,some are just being transproted to a hospital,but the law states,that anyone other than a police office must be handcuffed when riding in a police vehicle. Blessed Be.

I know that you aren't suppose to judge a person until you know all of the facts..but my first impression is that they must be a bad person to be in handcuffs.

I worked in retail for 3 years now and every month or so someone has always tried to steal from my store and security always manages to catch them..I have seen young girls stealing and older mothers as well..I just ask myself how people think they can get away and what they risked everything to steal was

The first thing i think is that here is a person that has broken the law.
