Ok, this is the skinny on it. I was feeling pretty down a week ago, and I have been known to cut myself before. Usually it's just the hesitation marks, because it ends up hurting so bad, you don't do it! Anyways, I haven't done it in over 2 1/2 years and I promised my mom I wouldn't do it again. Well, I called a hotline to calm me down, which I did calm down - however, the hotline called the police. When the police showed up, I was already OUT of distress, the officer wanted to know where I hurt myself, I told him I didn't hurt myself, I saw a situation and I handled it as maturly as possible by PREVENTING the act. Well, he took me down to the hospital & the officer put me on a 72 hour hold without a psych's approval (Code 5151 violation) and not only that, my blood alcohol was at .175, which I'm protected by the LPS Act. Now, considering I wasn't in distress and there was no signs of violence, he violated my 4th amendment right, the hospital violated Code 5151 & LPS - can I sue
