TDO=temporary detaining order is issued by a judge at the request of a caregiver, family member, etc. when a person is deemed to be a threat to him/herself or others. a court hearing is required for evidence for and against the continued incarceration, usually in a non-prison facility. seems to come into play in mental health arena 'cause anything else: cops bust ya.
