      > A man caught littering when he dropped a cigarette down a drain has said he is ‘fuming’ after being fined £833.

      Don’t litter then, cunt.

      Not condoning littering here but if he’s not full of shit the lad was assaulted by the enforcement officer who ignored other people littering right next to him.

      In a council that has fined 12 people 6 grand for littering.

      It’s council scam to make money and the lads been fleeced really.

      Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…

      I knew he was going to be called Carl before I even opened the article.

      There’s something about people called Carl, you can spot them a mile off for some reason. I have no idea what it is.

      Bet the journalist had a smile of self-satisfaction when he wrote the word ‘fuming’

      He’s upset at easily preventable consequences. Just carry a little tin with you to put them in after you put them out. Empty at a bin. Easy.

      >Carl Smith, 31, refused to pay a £100 on-the-spot fine

      Well, that’s your mistake right there.

      Pay then challenge. Or challenge in a timely manner if that’s an option.

      Amazed he was actually caught. I’m against littering, but there’s definitely an element of bad luck he had lol.

      >However, when he was challenged, he said that because it wasn’t on the pavement, it didn’t count as littering.

      >The case was taken to court where he eventually pleaded guilty and was handed a fine.

      I can’t imagine how it went wrong, seems like he handled the whole thing brilliantly.

      >‘I told him “how are you going to give me a fine if you have no evidence?” I threw the cigarette down a drainpipe, it’s not littering.’

      Smart move – no evidence, so now no-one will ever know you threw the cigarette down a drainpipe, just as long as you never ever say you threw the cigarette down a drainpipe.

      Not sure why he didn’t just comply with the requests, wait till the enforcement “officer” released his grip then legged it.   His own fault he knew what he was doing was wrong
