Who pays for that? The person who wants the place cleaned up, not the city, not you, or me. Just like when the windows are broken due to fire, it's not me who picks up the tab.
Cororner has a fee for picking up the body.
and so forth....

You missed my point so far I have to wonder if you are being intentionally obtuse or you just don't know what the hell you are talking about. I'm going to assume you aren't being a dick. If you aren't familiar with what a
rape kit is, please check here.
When a suspected rape occurs the victim's body is a crime scene. The only difference is that the rape exam is done in a hospital. They aren't providing a service with your precious tax dollar, they are looking for evidence.
Charging a victim for a rape kit is analogous to telling a homicide vics family that they'd love to analyze the blood spatter at their loved one's crime scene but they are going to charge you for it.
Your comment about crime scene cleanup is completely irrelevant to the subject.
