Pippin:

I do not consider the difference between putting myself under '
orders at the dictate of my own conscience as opposed to being
dragged off without due process at the dictates of someone else's
a doubtful luxury. 

I doubt that JKR, who has links to Amnesty International on her
website, and is campaigning fiercely for the rights of children 
kept  in cage beds,  is quite as ready to discard due process or
take a benign view of protective custody as you are.
