In Queensland, the very unofficial line is that if they're called to any kind of event where someone is showing any kind of mental instability whatsoever (even if its caused by the sheer presence of the police) they will either take you to the local hospital for evaluation by the "mental health professionals" voluntarily, or you go in cuffs. Simply put, if you're not all sunshine and rainbows, you're screwed.
Why? "Because we're not qualified to make that call, and if we dont take you to the professionals and something happens later, then it makes us look bad."
I wish it was a joke, but it isnt.
