"Under the proposed "Violence Prevention Program," anyone who sees a potentially dangerous situation — a schizophrenic person with weapons, a war veteran making threats to passersby — could call a 24-hour hotline. Legitimate-sounding calls would trigger a visit by specially trained deputies in plain clothes or by mental health professionals. "

But if a caller describes a demographic that is associated with the majority of violent crime, don't expect any response at all.

Legitimate-sounding calls would trigger a visit by specially trained deputies in plain clothes or by mental health professionals.

Someone please tell me how "legitimate-sounding" actually translates to legal definitions of actual infractions of established law?

Further, will the "trained deputies in 'plain' clothes" announce to this 'deluded killer veteran' they are actually LEOs?? Will these "mental health officials" be actual government, or will they be just local hacks there Johnny-on-the spot to hand out that instant diagnosis of schizophrenia?

If I saw three of these people on my doorstep, the shotgun would be 'just out of sight' at the ready.
