I could ask the dude who posted this what video it was from, but he might not even remember. This was posted months ago in a discord server, and I just happened to have it as a screenshot on my phone. It's very possible that the YouTuber was mixed up or wrong and didn't know the difference. I know I didn't know there was a difference until this thread.

Anyway, I've only ever had cops use handcuffs on me, never zip cuffs/ties. I don't think I've even seen them used in person.

Generally I think they only use zip cuffs during larger crowd control operations, protests for example. Saw a ton of them during BLM protests in my city. You can see them on the left cop and some of the background cops if you zoom in on this pic I took

Clearly, I need to get more involved
