As if one is handcuffed they no longer have the freedom to leave, therefore they are under arrest. Yes, they may let the person go and not take them to jail. But for the time that they are handcuffed and/or sitting in the backseat of the squad car they are under arrest.

As also usually if one resists being handcuffed they can end up facing a charge of resisting arrest, so doesn't that also reinforce that once the cuffs go on that one has been arrested?

It doesn't make any sense that they'd also ticket you. As victims don't usually run away.

As others have said, I am glad that things worked out for you.
