What are the limitations and legal ramifications of physical chemical and psyschological restraint?

Question is somewhat unclear. What specific information is being sought?A definition of the term 'physical restraint' would be - 'the force necessary to curtail or limit the movements, or limit the physical actions of, an individual.' In law enforcement terminology it is usually used to describe a physical custody situation.Chemical restraint would probably refer to OC spray, "Mace," tear gas, or similar commercially available product that temporarily disables a struggling or resisting individual so that they may be taken into physical custody.Psychological restraint, when used in this context, has no meaning or application. Psychological restraint implies that restraint which is self-imposed by the person themselves.
