New York Court Rules Due Process Needed for ‘Red Flag’ Orders


In New York’s case, the court requires that any “red flag” order must be accompanied by a determination from a physician or psychiatrist. That’s already part of New York’s laws. The court noted that New York’s Mental Hygiene law states, “… a person’s liberty rights cannot be curtailed unless a physician opines that a person is suffering from a condition ‘likely to result in serious harm.’ Further, in order to extend any such curtailment of liberty beyond 48 hours, a second doctor’s opinion must be obtained, and such an opinion must be consistent with the first doctor’s opinion.”

  1. As if the criminals in power gave a rats ass what the law says. The law is nothing but a TOOL that they use against US. It is NOT something THEY have to obey. They only have ONE rule. WIN! By whatever means required.
