If an adult patient who is not incapacitated requests that there be no notification, the request shall be respected.   5. A peace officer who acts in compliance with this section is acting in the course of the officer’s official duty and is not criminally or civilly liable therefor, unless such acts constitute willful malice or abuse.   6. If the physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon in charge of the facility determines it is for the patient’s benefit, the patient shall be encouraged to agree to further diagnosis and appropriate voluntary treatment.   7. A licensed physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon, mental health professional, facility administrator, or an employee or a person acting as or on behalf of the facility administrator, is not criminally or civilly liable for acts in conformity with this chapter, unless the acts constitute willful malice or abuse.
