Because Florida has a history of giving Constitution-hating fucks free rein, officials in Miami are trying to use the unconstitutional Baker Act to illegally institutionalize an estimated 1,100 homeless.
As the hurricane threatens the state, residents are being ordered to leave - now. But most aren't being threatened with being institutionalized. Only the homeless are facing that amount of oppression, as the city is threatening to hold them against their will for a mental health evaluation.
Some nobody with the city boasted, "We're going out and every single homeless person who is unwilling to come off the street, we are likely going to involuntarily Baker Act them." At least 6 people have already been detained under this policy.
And people wonder why we say America has become a police state.
