It appears the police aren't on board with the taxi industry's request for a formal human waste cleanup fee. Local taxi companies asked Woodstock City Council to consider the creation of a bylaw that would see a $120 charge be imposed on those who vomited or released other bodily fluids while in the cab. Thursday night councillors were told police believe this is a civil matter between the cab company and the passenger. Police said generally speaking, you need intent & evidence to prosecute an offender for almost any offence and, if someone is drinking to the point of throwing up, they would question their ability to form intent. They said council should not collect fees for the companies but said companies can seek compensation through small claims court.
