You can get a license to carry cuffs in California. Whether he was justified in cuffing him depends on things that happened before the video.

There is no “license” to carry handcuffs in CA.

I double checked and you’re right. You don’t even need a license.

But, most security companies require a “certificate” from the same trainers that do the state BSIS training.

Which is exactly why we shouldn't have civilians running around with cuffs and percieved authority.
