56.3.2 Warrantless Arrest
Under 202A.028, the respondent will have been taken into custody and
transported to a hospital/facility by law enforcement without any action by
the court. Law enforcement does not need to file any documents with the
court to make a warrantless arrest and transport the respondent to a
hospital/facility; return to law enforcement any such documents tendered.
NOTE: Warrantless arrests are more for emergencies stemming from erratic
behavior observed by a “peace officer” and verified by a medical
professional. The respondent can only be held for a 72 hour period and is
more of an emergency situation (perhaps someone not properly medicating
their condition or suicide attempt). Petitions for 60/360 allow for 60 or 360
days of hospitalization has a proceeding and more Due Process rights.
