I will say this, I grew up in a time of asylums and I lived thru their gutting of them with the Reagan administration and back then law enforcement was very different it did not become militarized until the LA bank shootout and some other events in the same timeframe. To say it was a different world would be an understatement. In that world false positives where rare, usually there was a history of issue as well as close family that agreed that it was for their good.Nowadays law enforcement does not know your name, they suspect you from first contact and family is not as tight knit as it was. I would be very leery of asylums in present society, due to the many ways in which society has changed.
