I agree with you. However, minimum height standards or not, there should have been more than 1 deputy present when removing handcuffs from prisoners.
You know I was just in district court with a "landlord" matter and there was not a single metal detector in sight nor did they search bags or the person of anyone. There was an armed deputy in court, and they had guys in handcuffs before the judge whose charge was marijuana posession and also for the dwi second offenders. I thought the whole thing made no sense.
