What happened to me was insane, asylum then jail
I can't explain this quickly. It will sound insane.
I was "Baker Act'd" in Florida (its a Florida specific law). I never threatened harm or suicide. From the asylum, I made the mistake of calling the police officer that did it and asked him why he did it. He said I consented and I did not agree.
Well, when I got out of the asylum in less than 3 days, I was arrested 2 days later. The charges were BS.
I now know why. They were worried I'd sue. You can sue people personally for federal civil rights violations. The Baker Act in Florida has actually resulted in a few police officers being successfully sued.
So they were worried and decided to try to destroy me. Yippie!
Might , think,its good that they thought you were that popular . Start showing up to city counsel meetings
. 100% of my experiences in similiar situations . They dont want cracks to show in their public image. And can be stupid in doing so.
Had made someone upset with myself, in the local division in my county . Abd they pulled a stunt like that Telling me during a supposedly a very unwarranteed health and welfare check .That if I followed them to a church parking lot in a different area. They would help me .I was suspicious at 1st as it went on as I parked there in the church parking lot . I got out. And they told me to get in their car. They pulled out ,and travelled one building down
To a unmarked holding hospital for people coming off drugs ,that had been arrested.And escorted through the double door mantrap, Buzzed thru..! And started to be interrogated by a Woman, who was a poilce shill, claiming she was a licensed clinical social worker. Demanding personal Information. After about 2 sentences I caught onto to the harassment gag. So when she asked who my specialty care doctor was .? That was the trigger .I asked her ,What her credentials were , And when she pressed me, I just said you do not look like my Doctor or any Doctor I knew of ?
Licensed Clinical Social workers are the lowest rung on the clinical heirarchy. And think she figured it might not be good to break the law and ask about things requiring HIPAA authorization. I sat back in my chair and folded my arms, very ceremoniously. And then I was told to go wait with the other poor happless individuals incarserated there. No body bothered me . And understanding the position of people who are aware that they ARE being used to do police Bosses
Dirty work. Its okay to help them feel like they are getting the activity they need in regards to their bosses illegal
Activity. And their boss will judge them if they do not perform for them. It was clearly a games. 1 more very polite interveiw by another more heavey set woman with dark hair. Who did not make demands , And did not sit behind a desk ,but with me.I gave them info they needed to prove they interacted with me ,for their boss to see.Three hours Later.
Was let out walked back to my vehicle drove home (( Scared to Death)). that they actual did such a thing to older widows , and still had a clear conciosnce,fear causes me to do strange things I drove to the State capitol and interacted with the State Attorney generals offices"secretary"..With many high ranking officers names. So I started showing up at police board meetings and signing in, And city counsel meetings doing the same. Never had another issue ...and believe me , these guys claimed to be short handed and when I called for Police support afterwards , It was always was there . The neighbourhood had some meth heads
nerdowells.(Maybe they thought I was too,before.?) Who wanted to make neighbours believe they controlled the neighbourhood . And after being their long enough I knew almost all their names. So I could call them out , to the police . And they hated that, when they tried to do ongoing meth business 3 houses down the street . Out of their backyard.Nope not for my street. Enough PTSD to stay up at night and watch. This Gave police good Info. End of experience. But they did cause me greif for it , at home.

Please excuse about my trying to empathize with yourself by sharing my own experience..Thought it might not cause you to feel alone in those type of situations.? But Rather, I really hope you recovered well afterwards . . .
