    I mean, it’s realistic. I know people who were at protests, and got arrested, and when they couldn’t find a way to charge them with crimes, they put them in psych hold for a minimum of 72 hours, and there are known instances of people having this done that ended up in for long times.

      Fun fact: There was a group of psychologists who were doing a study on how difficult it is to prove your sanity and get out of a psych ward, and checked themselves in to then see how long it took to prove that they were actually psychologists and get out. The longest one took 10 years before he was released.

      Another fun fact: The terminator in the second movie is a cop because Cameron believes cops are humans who should have empathy for others but don’t - like a machine. When asked why he made the villain a cop, James Cameron said ACAB.

      I would not be surprised if he researched the use and abuse of psych wards and the abuse that patients in psych wards commonly experience, or knew somebody who suffered similar circumstances.
