For the unaware BE WARNED ! Litter enforcement officers are now operating in Brighton and Hove,
Today whilst talking to a friend in the street he dropped his cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it by standing on it (I know serves him right crime of the century) seconds later he was confronted by three men in black uniform who informed him he had just committed a criminal offence under section blar blar blar and was being issued with a fixed penalty notice of £75 !!!!
He responded with "I was about to pick it up and put it in the bin", but was told to late for that sir the offence has been committed
It was confirmed by them that anything at all dropped will incur this penalty
I know naughty boy should have known better and do you know how much it costs us all to keep these streets clean and all that
BUT 75 QUID REALLY !!!!!!
