New York is about to buy her a whole BMW dealership.

A Long Island woman’s insistence that she owns a BMW landed her in a psych ward at Harlem Hospital.
The doctors believed she was delusional and suffering from bipolar disorder — but she was actually telling the truth, a lawsuit claims.
Kam Brock’s frightening eight-day “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” ordeal at the mental facility included forced injections of powerful sedatives and demands she down doses of lithium, according to medical records obtained by PIX11 from her attorney.
Brock said it all started at a traffic light in Harlem after she was pulled over by an officer for allegedly driving without her hands on the steering wheel.
Brock said: "I was confused and did not know what was going on, why I was being taken into custody," Brock said. “The officer said, 'why are you driving without your hands on the wheel?' I said I was dancing, I am at a light, he asked me to get out of the car.”
The officer took Brock to the 30th Precinct but after a few hours she was released without any charges. However, she was told to come back the next day to get her car.
The lawsuit states police reacted in disbelief that Brock owned a BMW when she arrived at a substation to pick it up.
Brock said: "I told them I have a BMW they asked me what kind of car it was and from that moment they started looking at me differently like I could not have a BMW."
After a long wait, the bank executive claims she was placed in handcuffs and taken by EMS to Harlem Hospital. Then she was committed to a psych ward.

Woman forced into mental hospital for 8 days when cops, doctors don’t believe she’s a banker[26 March]
The cops musta wanted her car.
This is an outrage! A bank executive treated this way!
Why do I think there’s more to this story?
I too think you’d have to be crazy to own a BMW.
A hundred and fifty bucks to change a tail light? My a*s!
The “dancing at a stoplight” is a clue that there is, I think.
“In the end she was released but stuck with a hospital bill for more than $13,000.”
....and then they make you pay for the bullet.
New York is about to buy her a whole BMW dealership.
I think it might have to do with the fact she was dancing in her car while driving.
Thanks for the rest-of-the-story 2nd link.
He claim can’t entirely right if her name was on the 2003 BMW registration, and car insurance.
Likely the NYPD is gonna cost the City a significant settlement.
“Brock — an eccentric 32-year-old born in Jamaica with dreams of making it big in the entertainment business — admitted in an interview she was “emotional,” but insisted she in no way is an “emotionally disturbed person.”
Paying someone else to change your taillight is a bit nuts regardless of the car you own.
The cops could have checked the registration in no time, there’s more to this one.
I read about this several days ago. Strange story.

New York, New York, it's a hell of a town(I know, it was Long Island), here in California a 5150 is only good for a 72 hour hold.
The state has the power (but not the right) to throw someone in the nut house. This power is being misused.
Really strange resemblance to an article earlier this year.
EXCLUSIVE: L.I. woman says psych ward doctors believed she was delusional for insisting Obama follows her on Twitter
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/exclusive-woman-held-psych-ward-obama-twitter-claim-article-1.2159049
A Long Island woman’s insistence that President Obama follows her on Twitter made doctors at the Harlem Hospital psych ward think she was delusional and suffering from bipolar disorder — but she was actually telling the truth, a lawsuit charges.
Kam Brock’s frightening eight-day “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” ordeal at the mental facility included forced injections of powerful sedatives and demands she down doses of lithium, medical records obtained through her suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court show.
They also indicate that doctors didn’t believe the leader of the free world followed her on Twitter — though @BarackObama follows over 640,000 accounts, including hers. They were also skeptical she worked at a bank, records show.
“I told (the doctor) Obama follows me on Twitter to show her the type of person I am. I’m a good person, a positive person. Obama follows positive people!” Brock, whose Twitter handle is @AkilahBrock, said.
Ever seen a Lib change a light bulb, a tire, their own oil, jump a car? Suddenly, they need a Conservative.
