box?

If you're going to do things by remote control, why not attach a set of handcuffs and "leg irons" to the prisoner--only they aren't typical handcuffs or "leg irons." They're cuffs with a superstrong wire--of the sort used to build bridges, say--that are on a retractable system, like a dog leash. To make the cuffs retract, use a remote control.

Give the prisoner enough "rope" so he can walk easily, and hold his papers, and scratch his nose, but if he tries to bolt, push the button and he's face down on the floor because his ankles and wrists are pulled together in the blink of an eye.

We can put a man on the moon, why can't we do something like this? Much less lethal, surely. If the prisoner falls on his ass and breaks his nose, it's on him, for bolting.

Fuck that 80k wimpy shit! Make mine 8 million and I want them handcuffed around my balls! YAY COPS THEY ARE THE BEST!
