No unnecessary restraint

An arrested person may be restrained only to the extent needed to prevent escape. Any extra physical restraint beyond what is reasonably required is prohibited. Restraints should be proportionate and limited in time.

Ravi is arrested for shop theft. Officers handcuff him while taking him to the station because he tried to run once. They must not add leg shackles or tight bindings when those are not necessary, because that would be unnecessary restraint under the law.
