Wish we would have had hoods and/or Plexiglas shields over the barrier when I had to CS a drunk with a bad sinus problem. Let's just say that when you get sprayed, it is better than wasabi at opening up your sinuses. And when the person shakes their head like a wet dog.....Excaliber wrote:Yes, hoods are used for spitters. It's no fun trying to drive while being spit on by a drunken slob sitting behind you, especially if you're in one of the jurisdictions like where I worked where 20% of arrestees were positive for Hepatitis B, HIV, or both.
