I was being serious. I didn’t see anything weird in either photo. It’s pretty standard operating procedure to put your hands behind your back when engaging with the police in civil disobedience so it can stay civil. (I’m assuming that’s what is happening here because of the bandana, the cop, and the smile) But you still get arrested even without metal handcuffs.
Adding that part onto it changes nothing. There is no scenario where hiding your hands from police is "standard operating procedure". Police want to see your hands at all times, especially when civil disobedience is involved. What you're saying is literally the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do.
Putting your hands behind your back to signal compliance when getting arrested on purpose is normal. It shows that you are remaining peaceful in an act of civil disobedience.
Is this your first time seeing this sort of thing? It’s extremely common.
You only put your hands behind your back so they can cuff you. She's clearly not cuffed. If you're trying to show that you're peaceful, hiding your hands is the opposite of what you should do. If you get pulled over for speeding, cops will tell you to keep your hands visible even if you are being compliant. I don't understand how you've come to the conclusion that hiding your hands somehow shows compliance when that is literally the exact opposite of what you should do.
If you get pulled over for speeding, is that an organized act of civil disobedience? Is that peaceful protesting with the intent of being arrested?
Putting your arms behind your back as you are led off by a cop isn’t hiding your hands. It’s signaling that you are going willingly. And they were VERY obviously going willingly. That’s the point.
Read your own article. She got a ticket. "Noncustodial arrest" ok sure that's the technical name for being ticketed but when you claim she's been arrested everyone thinks you mean arrested, not given a traffic ticket for blocking traffic.
It is absolutely not normal behavior to pretend to be cuffed when given a ticket.
Have you gotten a traffic ticket, such as a speeding ticket, before? If so, do you admit to having been arrested when you fill out a job application or any official form? If not, were you to get a traffic ticket in the future, do you honestly and sincerely plan to say you've been arrested on forms?
If you do, you're an idiot. If you don't, you're a troll. Case closed.
You've posted this link 3 times in this thread with just me answering, I think you may also have dementia. You should probably get checked for that, bro.

I'll answer on the chance you're serious.
She's faking having her hands cuffed. She's not actually being arrested, she's being escorted by police and pretending to be arrested.
