In Our World - Spitters

Baseball players beware!...

According to the Daily Telegraph in Australia:

"Police Minister Judy Spence said a successful 10-week trial ran in 11 police cells last year of the single-use, disposable spit nets which were similar to the garb worn by bee keepers.

From today, the trial has been extended to eight major watch-houses for one year.

'Under the guidelines of the trial, the spit nets will only be used on offenders who spit at police or have a history of spitting at police,' Ms Spence told state parliament."
