Which of the following is NOT considered a form of physical force?

Monetary fines are not considered a form of physical force because they are a financial penalty imposed as a consequence of behavior, rather than a physical action taken against an individual. Physical force refers to the use of bodily strength or weapons to exert control, restraint, or harm.

Using less lethal weapons, physical control, and deadly force all involve direct application of physical power or weaponry that affects a person's physical state or behavior. In contrast, monetary fines influence behavior through economic means, rather than through physical confrontation or control, which distinguishes them from the other options provided.
