Isn't the reason we always hear about "Florida Man" that they have public listing of all their arrests etc? Meaning that presumably everywhere (in America, at least, though I don't want to throw stones from our glass house) is this crazy!

This is not an arrest, so that inference is a bit off, and the existence of Florida Man doesn't change the facts of this instance: the tapeworm larvae were not a punitive result of unwise choices by said individual, but a much deeper issue involving multiple stages of the meat's processing, storage, transit, etc., with each successive one pointing to a wider scope of oversight failure.
