Police and Fire Departments Begin to Charge Accident Victims For Services

The New York Times reports:

About a year ago Cary Feldman was surprised to find himself sprawled on the pavement in an intersection in Chicago Heights, Ill., having been knocked off his motor scooter by the car behind him. Five months later he got another surprise: a bill from the fire department for responding to the scene of the accident.

Great moments in the monopoly provision of services!
