Chesterfield County man held without arrest.

Looks like they sent him in for a 72 hour psych hold, and then decided to commit him. I don't think there is enough information here to make much of an evaluation on the validity of that action. I do know that in most areas getting a psych hold isn't that easy. Eminent danger to themselves or others is usually the criteria.

Just remember the outrage with the Virginia Tech shooter that no one did something about him before he went on a rampage. And remember the Unibomber, caught because his writings were published, and his brother recognized them and had the courage to turn him in.

Incarceration is incarceration regardless. Holding someone against their will for future possible crimes is illegal and violates our rights. I do think sometimes it is best but it does infringe on our rights.

Time for the swat team. Political statement followed by a reference to senator Flowers followed by some code words. Code red!

Are you saying the 72 hour hold and the 30 day commitment are illegal ?

Are you saying the 72 hour hold and the 30 day commitment are illegal ?

Without a warrant it is.

 

[hemet dennis]

Without a warrant it is.

How did you come to that conclusion ?

 

[Matthew3590]

How did you come to that conclusion ?

Cause you need a warrant to detain people and to enter on to private property.

 

[hemet dennis]

Cause you need a warrant to detain people and to enter on to private property.

Sorry but you are very misinformed. A warrant is not needed to detain people or to enter private property. Where did you come up with this ?

 

[Matthew3590]

I am sorry. Correction: you can only be detained without a warrant if you are actively committing a crime.

No sorry still wrong. It's not a crime to be crazy.
