Yo, I hate litter and hate litter bugs even more, but this is the worst way to approach it.

Just put a bounty on litter bugs using dashcam footage. $100. Watch it get fixed overnight.

I'm all for this. You have no idea how many I catch inadvertently with my dash cam!

One time, some lady driving in front of me threw a deck of playing cards out the window one by one!
