Tools used for limiting or obstructing the freedom of a person's bodily movement.

Usually binding objects such as shackles, ropes, chains, straps or straitjackets are used for this purpose.

Excluded objects

• Harnesses generally do not apply towards this tag unless they hinder the movement of the limbs, or are attached to other binding objects. Special purpose safety harnesses such as seat belts, and over the shoulder harnesses are generally inapplicable for usages reflective of their intended purposes.
• Leashes are a grey area. It is more useful to leave untagged, so that scenes featuring leashes and other types of restraints are findable.
