charmy Question by Velocity149: What does it mean to be apprehended under the mental health act?
I was recently apprehended under the mental health act, I don’t know why, but I had a knife with me so they assumed I was “crazy”. I was brought to the hospital, and the doctor said I was fine, and that nothing was wrong. Was this just a way of scaring me without arresting me, and does this stay on my criminal record? I live in Ontario, and I don’t know what this all means. I would really appreciate some answers, that would be great.

This is what happens when you commit crimes under the mental health act. The best thing for you to do is either not commit crimes or, if you must do criminal things, do them well away from the mental health act.

Your name might have been entered into the government database for criminals. It is very likely for people apprehended under the mental health act. This might cause you big trouble in getting employment or arms license. Check whether your name exists in Gov-Records.
