You get handcuffed as a precaution. You do not have to be arrested. You can het handcuffed on a traffic stop if the officer decides they have cause to search your car. Etc.
Just because handcuffung is normal in the USA, that doesnt make it normal or sensible. No one gets cuffed in a normal traffic stop or house visit in the UK for example.
Was he arrested? I don’t see follow up. It only says he was handcuffed which would be standard until they know what’s going on.
OK, here it’s the other way around, you don’t normally handcuff somebody unless they are arrested.
You get handcuffed as a precaution. You do not have to be arrested. You can het handcuffed on a traffic stop if the officer decides they have cause to search your car. Etc.
Some cops will go a step further and shoot you first; as a precaution, of course.
Or your dog. Safety first!

Being detained while an investigation is conducted is not being arrested.
Factually inaccurate.
