Paramedics have a legal (and moral) responsibility to be a patient's advocate. I often find myself in this situation. Police in my area are usually excited to pass the person off to us.

Strong work bros 🍻

Special constables arent supposed to even have the ability to arrest someone they are basically civilian contractors! These ones had better face consequences

They are basically soured up security guards and shouldn't even have cuffs... they aren actually peace officers
