right to due process, and expect them to be struck down. Most of the time the "deemed" is simply the say so of the complainant and the target has to prove his innocence. The guy shot by cops in MA was not a threat to himself or anyone else. One of his asshole relatives used the law to "swat" him for some trivial reasons.
