How about just streamlining the process for getting a case before a judge so that due process is maintained?
When I violate the rights of mentally ill people who are dangerous, a couple times a month at least, as soon as I fill out and hit send on the fax machine their rights are in the toilet until a judge comes, sometimes taking several days, and substanciates my claim or releases them on the spot. They usually give me what I need. Also, I know how to stretch a 72 hour hold I to 5 or 6 days, before I would even have to do the first thing I mentioned.
We also take peoples' guns before we release them a lot...usually through family members or local authorities.
The social control vs individual rights vs healthcare confidentiality is a pretty messy to be ethical in.
