Question If someone took off handcuffs while being detained, would it be illegal?

Just out of curiosity.

When I say took off, I mean to unlock the handcuffs and give them back to the cop.

I saw it on one of those cops shows, like Reno 911, the magician.

If I would be in trouble, what would the person be charged with?

Yes. And if it were me (and it has happened to me) it would get you one of two things:

1) A canine with no sense of humor sitting next to you ready to eat you
2) hogtied

Not to mention the change in status from "detained" to apprehended. I regarded that as an aggressive act, and a threat.

Probably "resisting arrest"and "attempting to escape" or "elude capture".

My guess would be escape also and resisting arrest like hiredgoon said
