perp walks
Handcuffed public escorts
A perp walk is the practice of police parading an arrested suspect past cameras and reporters, typically when transferring them between locations.
The term combines perpetrator with walk.
Law enforcement may arrange these moments for media coverage, while defense attorneys often object that they prejudice public opinion before trial: The CEO was led out in handcuffs for the perp walk.
