법적 범위 & 헌법적 보호

Positional asphyxiation occurs when an individual’s body position prevents them from breathing adequately, frequently when multiple officers apply weight to a handcuffed person’s back or keep them prone for extended periods. Law enforcement training across California explicitly warns against prone restraint; ignoring these warnings is severe negligence.
