Ertonbel is correct about one thing he stated in an earlier post, NY can involuntarily hold someone without a court proceeding for longer than 72 hours (they can hold someone for 60 days). They are required to have a court hearing within 5 days of a request by the individual being held. Ertonbel, if you requested it and they didn't do it, then you have grounds to go after them.
Interestingly, NY also requires statements from two physicians to get an involuntary commitment.
Here is a link to the appropriate statute.
