Best Answer

They must be an immediate danger to themselves or others. There must be a pretty obvious danger.

There's a fine line between immediate danger and not.

Those that can admit a patient to a hospital must be certain that the person is a serious danger; if not, that physician/licensed clinical social worker/psychiatrist can be sued. This fear of law suit keeps many people out of hospitals that might be able to benefit from the hospital admission.

Can federal law enforcement send an undiagnosed or diagnosed mentally ill person to a psychiatric hospital because they might potentially in the future do something wrong?

Some police departments can take a person to a hospital unit if the person may harm himself or herself. The ambulance personnel can do the same thing with the police assistance if necessary. Call 911 if you are having problems with someone. Be very specific with the 911 dispatch person. If you fear for yourself or that person then tell that to the dispatch operator so he or she can send you the proper emergency people.
