SICKENING: Taking Your Rights Away & Your Right To Defend Yourself, Even If You've Never Committed A Crime!

New Laws Force Drug Users Into Rehab Against Their Will~2017

Her only “crime,” Debra Hicks says, was having a bad reaction to her doctor-prescribed opioid medication. And a psychiatrist she’d never met involuntary committed her

Hicks claims she had been placed in five-point restraints and “forcibly and unwillingly subjected to the use of strong antipsychotic medications”

When Hicks attempted to leave the hospital—a full 24 hours after being released from the ER—she was chased down and brought back by local police and hospital security guards.

According to the National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws, 37 states already have statutes that allow substance abusers who have not committed a crime to be briefly detained against their will. In most cases the legal bar is high. Passing a new measure that allows individuals with substance abuse problems to be held up to 90 days against their will. Some with just "reasonable cause".

Meanwhile, detaining a person who has committed no crime based on what they might do in the future has potentially severe long-term repercussions.

“Involuntary commitment gives someone a lifelong marker that interferes with their ability to get health care coverage or OWN A FIREARM, and it could prevent them from getting certain jobs, like federal employment,” said Mary Catherine Roper, of the the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.

Once a civil commitment is on a person’s record, Roper says, it’s nearly impossible to get it expunged.
