Insanity. And you KNOW the “conservative” SCOTUS would uphold this.

I’d be more angry with the psychiatrist than the police. What ever happened to patient confidentiality? What business did she have calling the police?

[GeronL]

Where in the Constitution was this?

These judges need to be removed from the bench, all of them if you ask me.

Having read the entire story, I am disgusted. Unless the facts are vastly different from the report, I would give this woman a whole lot of money in any civil lawsuit (and I hate civil lawsuits in general). I would also shun any cop involved in such reprehensible conduct. Once they found her talking normally through the door, their only legal authority to break into her home could come through a search warrant, and they didn’t bother to get one. The police were 100% legally wrong, and trampling her rights for what they claim to be her own good does not justify that wrong.

“A psychiatrist, Dr. Michelle Bentle, phoned police to report that a patient had expressed a suicidal thought during an outpatient appointment”

First gigantic mistake - going to a psychiatrist.

90% of the bartenders in the world give better advice. And it only costs a few drinks.

Wisconsin 7th District Appeals Court rules police can break into your home and seize guns if they think you may be suicidal.

FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

In short, Sutterfield’s privacy (which was admittedly encroached upon) was left unprotected by the Bill of Rights because of the “exigent circumstances” in which police executed an emergency detention — with no warrant, no criminal charges, and no input from the judiciary. Similarly, the gun confiscation was also deemed as acceptable due to the so-called “emergency” which police claimed had been taking place for 9 consecutive hours.

Probable cause of "exigent circumstances" as a valid reason to search a house without a warrant is settled law - nothing new. If the court found probable cause, then, again this is nothing new.

Not sure what the "qualified immunity" part is about though.

I bet this woman voted for the leftists who have made her a serf without rights. Surprise! They are all about control, not liberty or rights.

...in the citizen’s best interest.

Of course it is in the citizens best interest to be unarmed...especially if everyone is unarmed.

[faithhopecharity]

There are, however, a lot of houses where they won’t get away doing that...

What if the Politburo in Washington says it's crazy to not believe in man made global warming?
What if they say it's crazy to have served our country?

What if they say it's crazy to be in the TEA Party?

What if they say it's crazy to study the End Times?

What if they say logic and common sense is crazy and every word that proceeded out of the mouth of a corrupt government official carries more weight that what God said?

...Opps, I forgot, they already have....

Meanwhile, in Maine a sheriff struggles with PSTD, (and somehow stays a sheriff with a gun???).

You know, it’s really the courts that have become the enemy.

We do not check the citizenship staus of Hispanics when reporting a crime, because we don't want them to fear going to the police.

We do check gun ownership of citizens when they go to a doctor.  Who cares if this means they will stay away from a psychologist when they actually need someone to talk to.

Went to a after-hours clinic recently after stepping on a rusty nail.
Person taking my history asked if I had suicidal thoughts or wanted to harm others.
