Police Department Offers Free Zika Tests for Drugs on Facebook

The Bath Police Department in Michigan posted a warning to its Facebook account alerting citizens of "breaking news" that meth possibly contains the Zika virus.

Now for the joke. The department generously added that anyone who had recently purchased meth could bring the drugs to the station and the police would test it for the virus.

Since this is Facebook, you can guarantee that hilarity ensues with the typical Facebook comments you've come to hate. "You have got to be kidding me!" said one Facebook follower. "If they are stupid enough to be using it, let them pay the consequences. Use the tax dollars for more important things."



As if all that wasn't enough there are comments below this story, explaining it was a joke, still discussing it! Wow.

For example:

"And the police have no way to test meth for the Zika virus." which was replied to with "Their goal is to get the idiots to bring their meth in to get 'tested' so they can charge/arrest them."
