@bjajudo That depends.... If you were certified for this tactic then a court would probably find you liable because you should have known the risk. If you were just "untrained Joe average" you might get off on the ignorance factor.
@bjajudo Positional asphyxia is caused when the subject's torso is compressed for too long, limiting how much he can inhale to breathe. Keeping the knee on his back for an extended period can cause death.
That's not a good technique. Get your right knee between his shoulder blades with your left knee next to his body. Have his arm extended tight up against your chest and maintain control by applying pressure to the subjects wrist toward his elbow. His fingers facing away.
@RayAir1 Actually, its a police academy approved technique, and I've used it successfully many times. Putting your knee between the subjects shoulder blades, as you suggest causes pressure on the torso that can lead to positional asphyxia.
@RayAir1 Simply move the knee off the shoulder while rotating his arm at the elbow. That puts him in a bent arm lock position (behind his back) which is held in position with the left arm, then that is where I apply the cuffs with the right hand which is now free.

@spartansensei
So how are you going to transition to handcuffing without good control of his arm to begin with?
