What does HOBBLES refer to in police terminology?

• A. Juvenile Corrections Center
• B. Nylon rope used for legs and hand restraint
• C. Justice of the Peace
• D. Jumped On

Answer: (B)

Hobble is police slang for a restraint method that uses a nylon rope to secure a suspect’s legs, and sometimes the wrists, to limit movement. This term is about the equipment and technique used to immobilize someone, not about a place, a person, or a general action. That makes it the best fit because it directly describes a specific restraint involving rope and leg (and sometimes hand) immobilization. The other options refer to a facility, a judicial figure, or a non-technical term that doesn’t capture the use of a rope-based restraint. In real communications, recognizing this term helps you understand notes or radio reports about how a subject is being controlled during transport or detention, without providing procedural details.
