So you think it’s okay for cops to come to your door and determine you’re “not all there” and haul you away.
I say “most” people aren’t aware. You say “most” people are aware. A difference of oppinon.
When I say “health care provider” I’m talking about a shrink who stands before a judge and says “This guy needs to be evaluated for 30 days.” That’s a hearing. This “independent professional” was not “independent”. Who selected him to testify? Who’s paying him? He’s going to make a diagnosis based on FB posts the cops TOLD him about? Come on!
Counterproductive? That’s my point. And if you don’t think these places won’t fill you up with drugs, you’re naive. I KNOW people who had this happen to them.
They cannot haul you away unless an independent medical observer agrees with them.
This “independent professional” was not “independent”.
That's a serious claim.
Who selected him to testify?
He didn't testify. He gave a preliminary diagnosis. He was probably the psychiatric resident on call at the local hospital.
Who’s paying him?
Are you suggesting that he was bribed?
He’s going to make a diagnosis based on FB posts the cops TOLD him about?
He is required to speak with the subject in person.
I KNOW people who had this happen to them.
You know people who had never been previously diagnosed with mental illness who were brought in for an involuntary psych hold and then were given psychotropic medications?
Really?
How much did the jury award them?
BTW, due process was followed and the judge decided to vacate the psych hold and release Raub on his own recognizance.
So much for the vast conspiracy.
