California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that makes it easier for authorities to compel treatment for people with mental illness or addiction issues. The proposal is partly aimed at addressing the state’s growing homelessness crisis.
if it was up to me I’d force everyone to submit to a mandatory psychiatric evaluation every 5 years. fail the evaluation and you’re locked into getting treatment - also mandatory.
it’s no different than getting a new drivers license when it expires. same buildings/process could easily be adapted.
It does but… how are you going to screen everyone, are you going to leave it up to police discretion?
How does that work out most of the time?
