According to this news story, some high school kid purposefully puked on his profesora and got slapped with a sentence from some judge."Johnson County Magistrate Judge Michael Farley on Tuesday sentenced the 17-year-old boy to spend the next four months cleaning up anytime someone gets sick in a police car."
Sounds appropriate to you? Well, since this is 2005 and not 1925, the police departments involved are unsure.
"Police in Overland Park, where a vehicle maintenance manager usually decides if a biohazard company needs to be called in for cleanup, plan to consult a department lawyer about liability issues.
'Are we going to have to provide this guy with a biohazard suit?' Overland Park police spokesman Jim Weaver asked rhetorically. 'Are we going to have to provide him with a breathing apparatus? That's a valid question.'"
I understand the judge's intent, but is it wise to put someone with a known tendency toward vomiting to clean up sick mess? "I'm as queasy as Kansans in August..."
