I cannot stress how important it is to you that you do not cuff someone on a repo gig. You WILL get into ALOT of trouble. If someone gets weird with you on a repo gig, pull your gun, and get yourself out of there. Then call the cops. You have a right to self defense, and you have the right to take the property you are reposessing. Your rights end there. Restraint is NOT defense.

The cops can intervene on your behalf. That's what they're paid for. They have special rights to ensure that they will not be held personally responsible for restraining some jerk who is trying to keep you from doing your job.
