A really smart criminal wouldn't be a criminal in the first place.
Unless he lived in a society where so many laws were being made, hundreds or thousands per day, that straightforward , law-abiding existence is no longer possible. Simple, innocuous acts that harm or threaten nobody (such as replacing a toilet in your house or filling in some tire tracks in your back yard, etc.) violate laws you had no reason to suspect even existed.
Such a society would manufacture "criminals" en masse, entirely against their own wills.
The thought of having my hands cuffed behind my back is terrifying. I'd probably have a panic attack. They may as well just shoot me, before I'd comply.
If they'd leave our hands in front, I wouldnt feel so vulnerable and helpless.
It's not feeling vulnerable or helpless for me, I'd feel claustrophobic.

I've never been in law enforcement, but I've had a set of handcuff keys for 20 years. They came with the handcuffs. You can buy them over the counter, and there's nothing illegal about it - nor should there be.
Context. It's why you can get arrested for having a stripped key or spark plugs.

That's the point of cuffing behind the back, to make them more helpless. Suspects with their hands cuffed in front are a much bigger threat/risk than one cuffed behind the back and if they're putting you in cuffs officers aren't going to do anything to increase their risk just to make you feel better.
Handcuffs- temporary restraints, many idiot LEO's forget that part of their training and it gets them into serious **** or killed.
I wish more people would read and take advice from this comment. Especially the next time someone screams the suspect was handcuffed.
All a person has too do is Google "officers killed by handcuffed prisoners" and you will find dozens of police officers who have been killed by prisoners which are handcuffed.
