«Breaking News» Louisiana police department offers a free test of your meth for Zika, but is there a catch?

A Louisiana police department is ready to lend a helping hand to secure methamphetamine from the ravages of a mosquito-borne disease.

Harahan Police Department issued a tongue-in-cheek warning on its Facebook page directing Louisiana meth users to bring in their supply for authorities to test for the Zika virus.

'If you have recently purchased meth in any area of Louisiana it may be contaminated with the Zika Virus,' the Facebook post by Officer Keith Moody cautions. 

'Please bring all of it to your local Police Department and they will test it for free If you're not comfortable coming to us, an officer will be glad to come to you and test your Meth in the privacy of your home.'  

'Please spread the word! We’re available 24/7/365. Be Safe!' the faux warning on Facebook posted by Officer Keith Moody reads

Zika usually causes mild symptoms of fevers, headaches, rash and joint pain, but it can also cause significant birth defects if contracted during a pregnancy. 

The disease can be transmitted by mosquitoes, through sex and in blood transfusions according to the CDC with no word of meth being a carrier. 

That has not stopped the Harahan police from attempting to get an advantage in the war on drugs in their city.

'Although the post was originally a lighthearted attempt at humor, a lot of great (and incredibly raw) intelligence can be cultivated from the comments,' Officer Keith Moody who made the post told ABC News.

Blatant ruses have been used by law enforcement before. A Texas police department joke similarly warned about meth being contaminated with Ebola in 2016. A woman allegedly on meth at the time named Chastity Hopson asked that her drugs be tested.

The Granite Shoals Police Department in Texas received a wave of negative comments for exposing Hopson publicly after the incident, but the comments seem to be what the Harahan police want to see.

'There is a lot of great information obtained by reading threads,' Moody said. 'Criminals have a tendency to say/do some pretty incriminating behavior when given the opportunity to "blow off."'   

Officer Moody also noted that the epidemic of methamphetamine and opioid abuse in Louisiana was not slowing down and that the issue was alarming.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
