What is the impact of a non-compromised commitment on a person's civil rights?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Hacker v. Superior Court of Tulare County, 268 Cal.App.2d 387, 73 Cal.Rptr. 907 (Cal. App. 1968):

While commitment proceedings are nonpenal in character, an outpatient does not enjoy full civil status. His place of abode, his place of employment and other activities are subject to approval and periodic review by his field agent. Further, when requested he must submit to narcotic use tests, such as the Nalline test used here. There is a calculated risk in the rehabilitation process that requires not only some impingement of an outpatient's civil rights, but close surveillance. To this extent there are criminal aspects to outpatient status (People v. Moore, 69 A.C. 701, 708--709, 72 Cal.Rptr. 800, 446 P.2d 800) which parallel the status of a parolee.
