W Cold Spring Ln, Baltimore, MD 21210

Officers conduct a traffic stop on West and East Cold Spring Lane in Baltimore. A detained man in the back of a patrol vehicle complains that his handcuffs are too tight and that he does not have enough room because of his size. Officers check the handcuffs, confirm there is space between the cuffs and his wrists, and discuss pulling over to adjust or double handcuff him if needed. They are told to call for medical help if he requests it or appears to need it, and to consider using a transport wagon due to his size. The man later says he does not need medical help. Units coordinate over the radio about the exact block location and another unit coming to check on the detainee.
