Does it seem like the police in your town do nothing about littering?

I live on a busy street and am always picking up trash in my front yard.  It's pathetic.

The nearest town is so small the cops go off duty at 8pm . And we have only the cops out this far 4 times in3 years. They came in 2004 to tell us we needed to evacuate [hurricanes].

Never heard of it. It's not the general publics' responsibility to ENFORCE the laws, just to abide by them. It's the police that do the enforcing ... at least that's what I think.

I've never done it but had tons of freinds and family that had.  Typically you clean trash off the side of the road, a county cop usually takes a group of you to the location in a van you get out put on bright orange vests and get to work, and if you're lucky people like me will drive by honk and laugh at you.  Other things I know people have done was paint a local community center, my brother did some kind of community service at a hospital because he has a bum knee, so I guess it just depends.

Laws in all states have upheld that garbage at the curb is not private and taking garbage is not stealing.  I cannot see how the town can lay claim to garbage until it is on the truck itself.\n\nI would think that in order to enforce this ordinance the city would have to supply houses with garbage cans and then they could say that anything inside the cans is offlimits.\n\nIts sounds like one of those ordinances that would be overturned as unconstitutional if it were appealed to a state court.  Besides unless they are sorting their refuse and separating those metals they can sell for money (it probably wouldn't be worth the cost) when people take trash from the street it reduces the amount of money the town pays in tipping charges.

You might be better off to contact the State Police with criminal complaints on county officers.  Locally they are a brotherhood and unlikely to do anything but send out a warning.

Remember the CS Gas spray?? That was issued so that the police had a "LAST LINE OF DEFENSE" When they felt that they were in "Immediate physical danger" \nThey use the stuff for crowd control in our town on a friday night -I have seen it with my own eyes.\nI have had police sneering at me and making comments deliberately to goad me into violence on busy weekends. \nThe magistrates are so far up their own arses that they cannot see what they have on the streets feeding them their stock in trade! \nThe police FORGET that they are public servants and that they are paid BY US! As I grow older I become less and less trusting of them as a force and less likely to help them should I ever be called upon to do so. \nThey do a difficult job no doubt, but they forget that they are there to SERVE and respect members of the public, but from what I have seen, the public need protection from them and their arrogant abuse of power.

how about this one: my town just had a vote for implementing a curfew. it was rejected, and for good reason: it wouldn't have worked. a city of 30 thousand with only 6 police officers on duty at once. now if we had more cops........well there you go, that's my suggestion.

Call the state level of FBI...if there is no response, go higher.  Happened to me when a guy was stealing mail from mine and other mailboxes.  The locals wouldn't do anything.  I called the post office, postal inspector, and the postal inspector caught the guy on film.  Still, the locals wouldn't do anything, so I called the DA and told him that the guy had been caught on film, and the DA did some serious leaning on the Sheriff's department.  Local people are sometimes lazy, or they are good friends with other locals, so get someone leaning on them, and they start cooperating quickly.

check with the local authority, the only ones who can give straight answers for you.

Yes, but it depends on what you are talking about. If you don't get satisfaction then approach your local member of parliament either for the state or federal government and explain the problem. You can make official complaints but I would go to a seperate police station to the one you were having trouble with. Remember thought that the police are neutral and may not see things your way, they have to enforce the law not your perception of it.

I live near Effingham and judge when the mushrooms are out by the number of cars parked next to the road in the timber on my way home from work.  Thus far I have seen none.  I will update you if the situation changes
