One of the guys at the hospital I worked at was picked up for pissing in public. Was he crazy? Hell yeah. Was he dangerous? Not even close. He'll never see outside again because he doesn't act like everybody else.

I worked at the state hosp. here in ohio and yes, you can commit them for 72 hours on a police request and then you have to have a physician and judges order BUT crazy people do have rights, you know. Just ask them--(typically) the crazier they are the more they know about their rights. Very strange situation.
