What can officers NOT do automatically when detaining under the Summers Doctrine?

Officers cannot automatically use cuffs and restraints without additional justification when detaining under the Summers Doctrine. This doctrine allows for the brief detention of individuals present in a location during the execution of a search warrant, mainly to ensure officer safety and prevent the destruction of evidence. However, the use of cuffs and restraints goes beyond what is necessary for a routine detention unless there is an additional justification for their use, such as reasonable belief that an individual poses a threat or may flee.

The other actions listed, such as restricting movements, using objectively reasonable force, and searching occupants for weapons, are generally permitted under the doctrine as they are necessary for the safety of law enforcement during the execution of a search warrant. Each of these actions is aimed at controlling the situation in a way that minimizes risks to the officers and the general public. In contrast, the use of handcuffs and restraints has more significant implications for the individual's freedom and personal autonomy, thus requiring a clearer justification.
