Unfortunately, police zip ties are much thicker, and likely resist that method.

Well I'll be damned!

Though someone in the comments of that video mentioned that the dual cuff zip tie (which I didn't know about until now) are much harder to use that method on, and now I'm guessing the other methods I posted may not be as effective against those either. I'm unsure of how common the dual type have been at protests.

Yeah, having 2 locks makes it so you can't apply the pressure to a single failure point.

What makes this technique work is making sure it's tight AND having the lock centrally located so all the pressure bears down on it.

With 2 locks offset like that? Probably wouldn't work. Also probably why they designed it that way.
