Question 25855 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. François-Michel Lambert questions the Minister of the Interior about the procedures for immobilizing an individual used by the police. Thus, as the NGO Amnesty International reminds us, the immobilization practice known as "ventral tackle" is very dangerous because it is poorly controlled by the police: "any pressure exerted on the back of the person who is in this position (like that which can be exerted by a force agent (especially when trying to stop someone from moving) further increases the difficulty in breathing. The person then lacks oxygen, he struggles, and faced with this agitation, a law enforcement agent will tend to exert additional pressure or compression in order to control the person, further compromising his ability to breathe. The Belgian and Swiss police, and certain cities such as New York, have chosen to ban this immobilization practice known as “ventral plating” from their arsenal, France has maintained it. In view of the latest arrest dramas through this practice known as “ventral tackle”, he asks if the Government is considering banning this practice from the arsenal available to the police for the immobilization of an individual.
