All the enforcers involved in the matter should be arrested for kidnapping and theft. Of course that won't happen, as we well know. Some people can get away with breaking the law with impunity. Looks like the taxpayers in that locale will have to pick up the bill instead.

Joseph Bloom, a psychiatrist at Oregon Health & Science University and a specialist in civil commitment law, says the police who apprehended and detained Pyles were likely acting under the cover of Oregon law. Bloom says the police are permitted to make a determination on their own to take someone in for a mental health evaluation—there's no requirement that they first consult with a judge or mental health professional. Bloom believes this is a wise policy. "It's important to remember that this is a civil process," he says. "There's no arrest, these people aren't being taking to jail. It's not a criminal action."
See, there was no arrest made. Everything is squeaky clean under voluntary commitment law.
