Oregon’s Proactive Rubber Room Imprisonment Policy

Concerns about an Oregon Department of Transportation employee who purchased several guns after being placed on leave prompted law enforcement across Southern Oregon to step in.

Negotiators and a SWAT team from Medford police safely took a man — whose name wasn’t released — into protective custody Monday morning in the 500 block of Effie Street, Medford police said in a news release.

He was taken to Rogue Valley Medical Center for a mental-health evaluation.

The above three paragraphs were lifted from a Southern Oregon Mail Tribune article headlined Police act swiftly after gun purchases.  The article also notes that the individual in question legally purchased the weapons, but evidently the legality of the individual’s purchases do not matter to the authorities when they have been informed by busybodies that the individual may be disgruntled, so the authorities swoop in and summarily declare the individual as a mental case and imprison the individual in a mental health facility for his own good.  The citizens of Oregon must be feeling so safe today.

Via a Sipsey Street Irregulars post with the appropriate heading of Department of Pre-Crime opens for business in Oregon.
