When you get picked up by the Canadian Mounted Police, you actually get a chance to plead your case in the back of the police car. If they believe you, they can let you go. They do things much different up north. Including the handcuffs being optional in some cases.
Why would they have him handcuffed? He's just drunk. You Americans are so funny. If he isn't being aggressive our police don't normally wouldn't put him in handcuffs.
I was picked up for public intoxication when I was about 20 or so and they didnt handcuff me either , and they gave me some coffee while i was in the drunk tank
