    here in florida we have baker act.

    this means you can report someone as nuts.
    then, police collect that person, and send them 2 the nut house for further psychiatric treatment and evaluation.

    Is there anyone you would baker act?

    But how can they throw someone in the nuthouse without evidence? You could pretty much point your finger at anyone and say they are cookoo and they would be taken away? I don't think that is constitutionally correct. I thought it was "innocent until proven guilty". By having to go into an institution for pyschological evaluation against your will, you are already deemed guilty. I think it has the potential to be abused, this Baker Act.

    Maybe it's because they've been out in the sun too long, thereby baking their brains. Lol

    here we are not talking about psyhics
    here we are talking about people that seem weird to others
    Einstein would have been locked away
    agree?

    btw- if anyone should be locked away then it's Bush
