Reporter Joanna Bale of (The Times) said"Until now it has been up to mental health professionals to determine if someone should be forcibly detained, but the new unit uses the police to identify suspects, increasing fears that distinctions are being blurred between criminal investigations and doctor's clinical decisons."
Gareth Crossman, policy director for Britain's National Council for Civil Liberties said "There is a grave danger of this being used to deal with people where their is insufficient evidence for a criminal prosecution.
This blurs the line between medical decisions and police actions. If you are going to allow doctors to take people's liberty away, they have to be independent.
That credibility is undermined when doctors are a part of the same team as the police.
This raises serious concerns.
First, that you have a unit that allows police investigation to lead directly to people being sectioned without any kind of criminal proceedings.
Secondly, it is being done under the umbrella of antiterrorism at a time when the government is looking at ways to detain terrorists without putting them on trial."

I find this unit most sinister, and in line with CIA behaviour under George Bush.
To think that Fascist tactics like this have been enacted in Britain shows the level to which our government have sunk, especially as they turned a blind eye to extraordinary rendition.
We might not be getting Gulags, it might be Bedlam Camps instead.
