"A woman who licked a tub of ice cream before putting it back in a supermarket freezer could face up to 20 years in prison, according to US police." What do you say?

She should be punished but 20 years is obviously excessive. Hopefully, it'll deter people from doing that or similar things.

She had the flu, it was even in the title of her video, and we know that the influenza virus can survive being frozen and remain infectious. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn10676-can-flu-viruses-survive-winter-in-frozen-lakes/ Influenza kills, especially children, the elderly, and the infirm. Tampering with a consumer product is a felony for a reason, and she did so knowingly and with blatant disregard for the health, safety, and wellbeing of others.

It's stupid and either a) a ploy to get her to plead guilty to something lesser b) the prosecutor is an ambitious asshole looking for headlines and/or attempting to make an example of someone and is willing to destroy a girl's life to do it
