Well, they do this at the initiative of a social worker, they "drop people off" (cuffed, to be locked up) at a mental health facility where that social worker works and the justification is a form that was filled in by an employee of that mental health institution as well (which you'd think would be a severe conflict of interest, but apparently not). And, of course, they charge for this. Thousands of dollars. I don't know if the police charge for this as well. As to who lobbied congress for this right, I can't claim any expertise. I hear it's state law, so it wasn't even congress itself.
