Washington State Involuntary Commitment Law, Representative Tammy Green
Washington State Representative Tammy Green, a mental health nurse, proposes strengthening involuntary commitment laws to include individuals deemed "potentially dangerous." The segment reviews the 2012 Seattle Cafe Racer shooting as a catalyst for this legislation. Concerns are raised that such laws could lead to "pre-crime" detentions based on subjective behavioral signs reported by family members.
