Title: Veteran can't sue for false arrest

Army veteran suffering from PTSD tells VA therapist he thought about shooting Louisville, Ky. police officer (who cited him for minor traffic violation) but that he did not intend to do it.

A VA staff member informs the police (without the therapist's say-so).

The (Louisville, Ky) officer gets the veteran charged with making terroristic threats, neglects to mention therapist's belief that veteran was not a risk.

The veteran spends 10 days in jail before charges dismissed.

Sixth Circuit Decision: The officer had a warrant, so the veteran can't sue for false arrest (though he might have been more successful had he raised different claims).

KRS 202A.400

Duty of mental health professional to warn intended victim of patient's threat of violence.

(1) No monetary liability and no cause of action shall arise against any mental health professional for failing to predict, warn of or take precautions to provide protection from a patient's violent behavior, unless the patient has communicated to the mental health professional an actual threat of physical violence against a clearly identified or reasonably identifiable victim, or unless the patient has communicated to the mental health professional an actual threat of some specific violent act.

(2) The duty to warn of or to take reasonable precautions to provide protection from violent behavior arises only under the limited circumstances specified in subsection (1) of this section. The duty to warn a clearly or reasonably identifiable victim shall be discharged by the mental health professional if reasonable efforts are made to communicate the threat to the victim, and to notify the police department closest to the patient's and the victim's residence of the threat of violence. When the patient has communicated to the mental health professional an actual threat of some specific violent act and no particular victim is identifiable, the duty to warn has been discharged if reasonable efforts are made to communicate the threat to law enforcement authorities. The duty to take reasonable precaution to provide protection from violent behavior shall be satisfied if reasonable efforts are made to seek civil commitment of the patient under this chapter.

(3) No monetary liability and no cause of action shall arise against any mental health professional for confidences disclosed to third parties in an effort to discharge a duty arising under subsection (1) of this section according to the provisions of subsection (2) of this section.

3. A psychologist, a psychological practitioner, a certified psychologist, or a psychological associate, licensed under the provisions of KRS Chapter 319;

4. A registered nurse licensed under the provisions of KRS Chapter 314 engaged in providing mental health services;

5. A licensed clinical social worker licensed under the provisions of KRS 335.100, or a certified social worker licensed under the provisions of KRS 335.080 engaged in providing mental health services;

6. A marriage and family therapist licensed under the provisions of KRS 335.300 to 335.399 engaged in providing mental health services;

9. A pastoral counselor licensed under the provisions of KRS 335.600 to 335.699 engaged in providing mental health services; and

Here you go again, defending a 'law' against your own liberty/interest.

IMH0, this staff member was no 'mental health professional', --- especially because he/she snitched about a non-threat despite the opinion of the therapist.

Here you go again, blowing it out your ass. Read my post again. I did not say a word. I quoted the applicable law without comment.

Here you go again, with a post that defends a 'law' that is against your own liberty/interest.

And as usual, instead of addressing my point, your juvenile comment about ass is what? -- An effort to get me to respond in kind?

You've become quite the blowhard.
