Not necessarily. You'll use the included resistor to "slowly" drain voltage to ground instead of arcing the internal contacts of the switch. Otherwise it's the same as turning on your ignition.

Also, do you mean The black (GRND) vs. Red(POS) on the battery too?
No, I'm referring to every bad 1970s/80s cop show that included a bomb disposal team.

Always cut the black wire.
