i escaped police attempting to ECO me about 3 weeks ago, what's the risk if law enforcement spots me now?

hello. I'm an autistic adult, my autistic symptoms are frequently misinterpreted as a mental health crisis, no matter if it try to explain it or anything, many cops tend to have their mind set on me as some insane individual. but as we all know this system is messed up and they will try to search for a reason to take you even when there isn't one. anyways, about 3 weeks ago i was in a meltdown. some random called the police driving by. my dad eventually came, calmed me down and i was fine. but a mental health clinician that accompanies the police was determined to get legal custody of me. I've met her before and she just has like a personal vendetta against me for some reason. not even exaggerating. she genuinely deeply dislikes me.

anyways, long story short, i was talking with my father on the sidewalk when i noticed, the officer that was present with the clinician, and the second officer were all huddled up chatting. and then i saw a THIRD officer pulling in. somehow my pattern recognition saved me here because i recognize something was about to go down. i started fast walking away, and i looked back. my dad was calling for me, i ignored him. but he knew i was trying to escape them, he just acts like he's against it so they don't suspect him. he doesn't agree with involuntarily hospitalization either .

so once i was fast walking away and looked back i noticed 2 officers and the clinician were fast walking behind. i got behind a building and made a break for it. within 30 seconds i was at my back fence. i scaled a 9 foot tall fence within about 15 seconds (still don't know how i did it) and hurried up and got inside the house. no one saw me. i looked through the front door peephole and while one officer knocked on my door, another looked in the bedroom window with his light and one looked into the backyard. i just stayed silent and hid

of course, i was not stupid to answer the door. i watched through windows and stuff off and on and they were patrolling the streets, side roads and sidewalks looking for me. never found me. after about an hour and a half the entire area was clear. I've literally been in hiding in my house for like 3 weeks. and yes, i know everyone's about to tell me ECO'S expire after 8 hours. I'm aware of this(I've been researching some stuff) but some cops in the area have that similar "personal vendetta"against me like i described with the clinician, and i do not trust them to NOT try to "create" a crisis where there isn't one, to start a fresh ECO.

so my concern now is: what's the risk of me being spotted by the law enforcement or the clinician? what would happen if they do? will they approach me or leave me alone? am i safe to travel alone to go to stores or wherever, or should i keep someone with me until everything seems clear?

please let me know if you have any input! just asking for community advice since this is nuanced.thank you
