As Long As It's Not Used Against You

Florida's considering a voluntary program by which people could get ID cards that announce that they're mentally ill. Why would you want this? Because if the cops encounter you, you could show them the card and they'd know that certain behavior you're exhibiting might not be voluntary. I don't know whether giving the state your mental health records is a good idea -- you KNOW it'll somehow end up hacked or in the wrong hands -- but informing the cops that the person who's acting weird in front of them may be off meds or otherwise impaired by forces beyond his or her control is generally a good thing.
