[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601831, member: 60724"] Kefguy says: You say the burden of proof is that the person "has to be a danger to himself or others". I don't read it that way. Joe W's quote said "[b][i]may[/i][/b] be of danger to himself or others", and RichardL stated the law is attempting to prevent the [i][b]"potential"[/b][/i] harm to self or others. So, there is no burden to proof that a drunk is actually endangering himself or others; the burden of proof seems more that the drunk "may" be endangering himself or others. TJR [/QUOTE]
