Just to back up what Janie has said... When I was a social worker and dealing with a case load that was heavy on the wacko side (politically incorrect) we "green warrants" as our tool... Problems is that magistrates and judges weren't all that wild about issuing them... We, as s social workers could could all but get on our knees and beg but...

...unless the trigger had been pulled the magistrates and judges would turn us down 90% of the time...

I fear that things haven't changed much since those days... Probably worse...
