        isn't there already a term for collecting money from a wide group of citizens to pay for state services?

        It's *very* important-- but it's a public responsibility and so should be paid for with public monies, not voluntary donations!

        if they raised taxes in Texas I bet they could easily cover the costs. SHAME ON THEM! NEXT THEY'LL ASK THE VICTIMS TO PAY.

        soooo these test results are not worth dedicated funds? I guess in a country where Military women are degraded this is next step.

        This is ridiculous. There are grants from every level of govt earmarked for testing rape kits. Citizens shouldn't crowdfund justice

        they can break those earmarks if they decide it would cause extra court expenses if no death has occurred

        yes and a second issue is the trivialization of sexual violence such that cops deem cases not worth court time

        Like, I mean, sure, whatever gets the job done, I guess. But you'd think that solving crimes would kind of be in the budget already

        @christineNYT why does it seem this type of crime gets swept under the rug all too often? Sad.

        - I am totally behind this. If it will clear up the backlog take my money. I don't even understand how or why the backlog exists.
