What is it about policemen and doughnuts? Ananova reports that Austrian police have actually raided several bakeries and filed charges against the proprietors for not filling their doughnuts with enough jam.

Austrian law mandates that 'fasching' doughnuts be proportionately filled with at least 15% jam. 'Testing' (seriously) showed that some donut's jam filling only made up 10-12% of the doughnut. Consumer protection councillor Gabi Burgsthaller said: "About one-third of the doughnuts were against regulations. The jam proportion was under 15%."

Although there was no mention of it, presumably the illegal doughnuts were confiscated and uh.. 'disposed' of.

UPDATE: Coincidentally, the always on top of things, Laurence Simon has a different story on cops and doughnuts.
