Alright, well for one thing, never try to search a person in a congested area, and never take off their uniform unless you absolutely need them buck-ass naked for some reason. If you get them somewhere away from prying kleptos, take off their backpack and empty their pockets. If they have a PDA, take that off too. CTRL+click them after they've been cuffed to make sure they won't be going anywhere, because they can't get away when they're cuffed and someone is pulling them around. Use this to search suspects on the scene, because just straight stripping them bare and letting them get looted, only to find out you had the wrong guy, is so fucking terrible. Even if they aren't getting looted, they still have to spend a few minutes getting everything back on and straight. Don't strip people, it's rude and obnoxious and makes people hate you.
As for the handcuffing issue, they can still get past you with cuffs on if they're not stunned, so just leaving them standing but cuffed in the brig cell while you go out to set the timer won't keep them from gunning it right back out and unquestionably resulting in that same benny hill bullshit I mentioned earlier with the segways. Every fucking time. Stun them with the baton, take your cuffs, set the timer. They can bitch all they want but that's their prerogative, because it's all they can do in there. And for fuck's sake, if you brig someone, don't leave them with tools or shit to break out with, but at the same time don't steal it all and squirrel it away either. If I remember right, brig lockers are still a thing, and you can put confiscated items in there. When the timer's up, the locker unlocks, and anyone who isn't a moron can get their stuff back before jumping down the flusher. So don't leave an engineer brigged with his insulated gloves and tools, dummies.
You say this stuff is the usual obvious stuff you'd see on the wiki but you'd be fucking amazed how often I see it happen.
