Best Answer

(in the US) Under the provisions of Emergency Mental Commitment Laws, there is no criminal onus attached, therefore no one is presumed to be guilty or not guilty of anything. It is purely an emergency device to involuntarily commit someone for mental observation who is believed to be an imminent danger to themselves or others by virtue of an apparent mental disorder or ailment. The maximum hold time necessary for observation may vary from state to state but usually does not exceed 72 hours.
