Florida Baker Act

In the State of Florida we have the Baker act

Florida Mental Health Act – Wikipedia

Originally it was intended to detain people with homicidal or suicidal ideation. Now it’s being used to detain anyone who is “suspected of having a mental illness”

It’s worth noting that “mental illness” is a broad, vague and poorly defined concept.

It’s also worth noting that there is no one who reads you your rights

You are not guaranteed a lawyer, or one phone call or a trial with a jury of your peers.

Many people have to file a writ of Habeus corpus and the detaining entity has access to dangerous

chemicals and often provides these to detained persons.

I am deeply concerned about this entire process.
