    I’m not sure how old the image is, but I know many states (since this shit only happens in one place, it seems) have made laws requiring rape kits to be paid for by the police, even if you don’t want a report. I don’t exactly remember how it works, but you do have to report the crime to the police, so the hospital paperwork gets handled, but you don’t have to have suffer through the interview of a detective or the DA’s office.
