Public Nuisance Laws

Recently a young man jumped off a cliff intending to land in the surf except he missed. Landed on a rock ledge with a dislocated shoulder and had to stay there for a night till the rescuers found him.

After he was fixed up at the hospital, he was escorted to the cop shop where he was charged with causing a public nuisance. If he's found guilty, he'll have to pay back the money spent on his rescue.

I think he deserves any punishment they serve up. Lifesavers have better things to do than rescue morons who endanger their own lives on purpose.
