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.
He was hauled away BEFORE he went before a judge. Geez, man. Do you argue just for the sake of argueing?
He was lucky that his lawyers got before a judge who follows the constitution.
Finally, if they ever come after me I’ll know whose side you’re on.
