Can police take you to the psychiatric hospital with no probable cause?

Police can do whatever they want, whatever they can get away with. But they better have probable cause, and it better be good. If it isn't good enough, the city will be paying - the city taxpayers will be paying.

Well in my country the police are even afraid to shoot down because they'd gonna be sued and others for killing, unlike the US that once you didn't listen to some restraint orders then they will shoot and the plice would just make his statement and thats it

In reality they can't but...
In my country we had one very special case when one very influential media owner send his wife to psychiatric hospital because she wanted to divorce from him and take their child with her.
He proclaim that she is crazy and call doctors and also police as support, in order to bring her by force to medical institution.
All media in the country reported about it and eventually, because of public pressure, she was released from hospital.
