[QUOTE="rhart, post: 4055635, member: 16596"] Well maybe I'm "misunderstanding" things but in Illinois it says "Any person over the age of 18 can file a petition for immediate hospitalization of a person with the mental illness" and the last I checked most individual law enforcement officers would be classified as a "person." Of course we could parse words and say that the officer himself doesn't actually have the power to make the commitment decision, but he caused the decision process to begin and in my mind if I'm the one permanently losing my rights his face is who I'm connecting with the dirty deed. Besides the case I'm remembering was back some 20 or 30 years ago and I'm sure the laws have changed some since then and I can't even remember what state it was in. I didn't see his reply as trying to give an example "of an activist LE" since he wasn't replying to my comment but to yours. I agree 100% on the red flag laws being unconstitutional and wrong.
