I can completely understand that. There's a name for that kind of phobia, which I can't remember right now, but I have the same exact thing. I have a Xanax prescription specifically for when I feel "claustrophobic" (it's not actually claustrophobia; it's a fear of being trapped and restrained, but people understand the idea of claustrophobia and I have forgotten the word for phobia of being restrained/unable to move).

It's significant enough that I have thought to myself how might I handle it if I am ever handcuffed, particularly with the cuffs behind my back. I would try to explain that I have a terrible phobia of this and I will have a panic attack, but I know that no cop is going to care about that. So I don't know. Not much else you can do but flee.

Definitely try to figure it out, because like you said, the cops don’t give a fuck. If you freak out then they’ll hog tie you, which makes it even worse.
