Baker Act

You know, folks, forget about the 25th Amendment.

Trump might get Baker Act.

Baker acted.

He might invoke the Baker Act on Trump in Florida before they remove him from the 25th Amendment.

Of course, he is on a collision course for impeachment or resignation.

Stick around.

There's also, in my experience, very little oversight in the state system.

We have the Baker Act here in Florida, which is our involuntary commitment statute.

And

every state has a version of the Baker Act.

Big problem with the Baker Act is that once the state takes custody of somebody, nobody actually knows you're there.

So there's zero oversight.

Yes.

And as a general rule, you cannot sue if they if they don't do things correctly.

But once this person becomes an adult or maybe they have late onset mental illness, that happens in your late 20s or your early 30s.

But there's no procedure in place for other than like a Baker Act or something when the police have to get involved.

But then they get out.

And so who is in control of them? What do you do with them?

Like, this guy needs to go to the hospital.

I'm not sure of Tennessee's exact laws on ECO or Baker Act or anything else, you know, along those lines.

But a daughter arrives on scene, says he needs to go to the facility, get some psychiatric help a few minutes after dying.

They said they refused.

Now, the police officers, of course, they're going to come up with some excuse.

Apparently, there's something called the Florida Baker Act, which... allows them to search for the, it says, I'm just gonna read this.

It says, police say officers were actively searching for a different at-risk teen under the Florida's Baker Act and acted based on movement description in a fast moving welfare search.

You weren't based on description.

I think we're thinking for a couple of months.

Off camera, Lois is taken into protective custody under the Baker Act, a Florida law that allows for emergency mental health services and temporary short-term detention for people experiencing a mental health crisis.

She's transported to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation.

Court documents say while at the hospital, the defendant stated she sleeps about three to four hours a night as a result of her caring for her disabled husband.
