Which behavior is not a sign of distress during a police custody situation?

Bizarre aggressive behavior
Panic
Calm compliance
Unexpected violent behavior

The correct answer is: Calm compliance

Calm compliance is considered not a sign of distress in a police custody situation because it indicates that the individual is accepting the situation without exhibiting signs of fear, anxiety, or aggression. When a person is calm and compliant, they are typically cooperating with law enforcement, following instructions, and demonstrating a level of control over their emotions. This behavior contrasts sharply with other signs of distress, such as unusual aggression, panic, or unexpected violence, which suggest that an individual is experiencing significant emotional turmoil or is unable to cope with the circumstances they are facing. These challenging behaviors can create concerns for the safety of the individual, officers, and others in the vicinity, highlighting the difference between those actively in distress and those who are managing their experience more effectively.
