Yes, they are used as an easily accessible restraint for everyone from couples and magicians to law enforcement and terrorists.
[ If it were strictly law enforcement that had access to them, Riou would agree with the sentiment of not sharing this information. However, it's not strictly law enforcement and law enforcement often has multiple levels of security.
As for corrupt police, Riou has a lot of thoughts about that. For one thing, he literally has called one of his crewmates Mr. Dirty Cop because he doesn't play by the book-- and yet, he's still more honorable and worthy than many of the cops on Yokohama's payroll, if only because Jyuto is dirty for the sake of exposing other filth in the system and taking down the drug trade. Riou understands better than most the nuances of needing to dirty your hands to make a more peaceful world for everyone else. ]
I am not intimately familiar with Camelot's law enforcement, but hypnotism is a specialty of those with cognitive magic and as I said, all of these restraints are available to anyone.
