£50 fine for throwing a fag butt down !!
Preamble -for as much as I respect the views of the people who live in glasshouses I would appreciate they didnt preach on this thread.Thank you x
Right -my daughter who lost her job and has managed to secure a seasonal one was going to work -dropped a fag end in the KFC car park and a bleeding DOG WARDEN screeched to a halt in her car and chased back at her and lashed her with a 50 quid fine.She accepted it only after the said DOG WARDEN ran after her as she didnt want to be late for work.
Now from a legal point -it was on private property and there was no CCTV. She cant manage to pay it -she knows she was silly but jeeez -I just wished they actually targetted the people who let their dogs cr@p on public ground rendering us liable to trail it into out homes.
Does it get to the extreme now that if you pick your nose and roll it up and are seen to drop it that you are fined.
I know people who have accepted a 40 quid fine for public disorder and placing people in alarm.
So peeps -what avenue next given she is skint and I think its highly unfair -theres fag ends every bleeding place and outside every bleeding pub.
Tad harsh -hmm?

Thats what I think she should do as well craft - even me being a pedant -what me lol -I think its diabolical when people literally get away with murder !!
What are they gonna do with the men who close one nostril and snotter onto the street -I know extreme example but it makes me sick....
spaced -exactly -she obviously hadnt met her targets that day -they want to chase the junkies who used to go up her closey (passage to her flat) and shoot up -before she got security door -the Environmental Health wouldnt touch them -its shocking really !

Yer right spaced -I ended up lifting the syringes although my daughter was very upset I had to but I didnt want her safety put in jeopardy.
Dirty hounds.
Think im on a roll here -I dont think we willl take this lying down -I could pay the fine now that she knows that she potentially had a warrant out for her arrest but im digging in.

It's all very well you wanting to take it on and fight all the way, but what does your daughter think - has she been give an chance to express a view since it is her neck on the line if your fight goes pear-shaped?
Smoking is a filty habit and you raise another interesting question about the size of the fine, it is a lot to your daughter who is presumably skint, yet there will be a lot of others to whom £50 is what they would spend on a drink and couldn't give a toss. So do you then fine people according to ability to pay?
There is also the question of whether chucking rubbish should be an offence or not, Are you arguing that it should not be in general, or just in your daughter's case? what constitutes rubbish? a single item or only lorry loads?
An interesting question - it raises all sorts of issues!
You are obviously annoyed by the fact that she got caught and not by a policeman. So

I agree smoking is filty -I dont smoke so anyone knowing me would know that I could be on my high horse with this one :)
