Sure. Weapons like this were often used by Chinese local forces who did the same job as modern cops. Especially in the Tang dynasty (AD 618—AD 907). This kind of weapon was not in the list of weapons used by ancient Chinese regular army. Ancient Chinese cops used another weapon named iron ruler whose length was about 1 m. The third equipment of those people were long iron chain, whose function seemed to be handcuffs.
