Oh yes. They can do this. As someone who has worked with mentally ill adults, I know a person can be 5150’ed, or involuntarily committed to a hospital or qualified facility for up to 3 days.
If, during that time, the patient becomes violent or actively suicidal, then, I believe they can be ‘denied egress’, meaning they can’t leave a particular room.
If the aggitation escalates, they can be ‘administered’ a sedative via pill or injection, usually something like Haldol or Risperadahl.
they would abuse it and illegally assign a 5150 to someone who does not want it though
color of law doesn’t make it legal, which it would be in this situation
no more legally correct than a chinese show court
Site me an instance where the federal government did this post Nuremberg Code?
