A Navy Veteran who was honorably discharged from the military has had his 2nd
Amendment rights suspended and his guns confiscated after a forced psychological
evaluation and subsequent wellness check that lead police to illegally search
his house and conduct an interrogation.
The problems started for David A.
Schmecker after he requested a follow-up pain management appointment and was
informed that he needed to have a psychological evaluation
beforehand.
Not having any past history of arrests or mental illness,
Schmecker politely refused the evaluation, which was the beginning of what would
end up being an illegal seizure of a patriotic veteran's guns during a search
that was conducted without a warrant and without any regard for the
law.
After Schmecker refused the evaluation, his doctor
called his house and heard what he claimed was an "odd" answering machine
message that apparently led the doctor to call the police and order a wellness
check.
“The police came to my home, and, without any justification
whatsoever, hauled me away for a psychiatric evaluation at a local hospital. I
submitted to their forceful insistence under duress and fear of arrest or
worse," Schmecker told Survive and Thrive TV.
"So they came into my house and they searched my
house, looking for contraband of anything, they looked through everything ... I
basically knew if I resisted I would never have gotten out of the hospital, I
would have gone into the hospital and possibly the morgue, and not only that, if
I had survived, I would have been stuck in the hospital."
