禁止 is way too heavy a word for this. This is not about a law.

挿入 doesn't mean "inserting tangible things as clothes". It means inserting a song into a scene in a drama or inserting an illustration into a book. Another meaning is inserting with some effort something into a space that is barely large enough. In another words, it doesn't mean "tossing something into someplace".
Thanks for the correction! I'm still learning this sort of kanji composition, so I wasn't aware of the use of 不可 like that.
