Wife, girlfriend, friend, or family member can petition the court providing a written word or video of action or communicated language by a person they believe may be a danger to himself/herself others or the community.
The courts here in Oregon cannot immediately roll a State Police officer to the persons home after the petition has been presented to the court.
The courts has to provide a directive to the accused, allowing him/her time to find legal representation and present his side of the case to the court. Once that due process is completed. The judge will make a ruling based on both parties information. The judge can assign counseling, group therapy or confinement for a period of 72 hours metal hold...Or, the judge can dismiss the complaint if he finds it was brought with malice or intent to injure emotionally... iircc.
There is supposed to be a component in the paperwork that should the judge remove the firearms, the defendant must have an obtainable path to recovering his/her firearms...That’s How due process is supposed to work in Oregon. 😎
And to think we were just told that due process is for losers...
