Yeah, I hate the disabled parking offenders too

Sorry guys, I have to play the trump card here. You haven't experienced life until you are riding a motorcycle at 70 mph behind a baby Benz, and a perfectly manicured hand sticks her ash tray out the open left side window, and empties out about 30 butts into your face. Or good old boy Bubba, who's spit can is full between his legs does the same out his window, with you behind him. It's scrumdidelyisous.

The two pinches I never cut slack for were tossing a butt and disabled parking.

I actually got a two-fer once on an SUV full of people. Front passenger tossed a Starbucks cup right about the same time driver's side back seat passenger tossed a lit smoke.

Bummer for both of them.

Disabled parking was one of my biggest ones also. I think it hit home with me a bit more due to all of the surgeries I had and the difficulty I sometimes had in finding a disabled spot due to some lazy person parking in it.

I also cited those who didn't have their young kids in a car seat. I recall a few that had a car seat in the rear passenger compartment, but the mother was holding the child on her lap in the front seat. Yeah, they got a cite.

A favorite cite for me too!

I love seeing some Bozo flick his partially lit cig into the street or any other trash for that matter. The last guy that did it was while we were sitting at a very long traffic light. Out sails a butt...So I just put on my ambers and got out and walked up to him. He almost had a heart attack.

I asked him to please step out of his car and recover his butt since I was positive he had accidentally dropped it. After all only a complete jacka** would do that in front of a police officer. He sheepishly got out of his car and retrieved his cigarette.

Funny thing...people saw what was going on and began honking and yelling write him a ticket...this guy was totally embarrassed and humiliated. One guy even yelled at him and called him a jerk!

By this time the light was about to phase so I returned to my unit...I think the good folks who had commented on his actions did more than a ticket ever could...

Oh how I would love to see the dash cam with audio of that!

i really wish i had a bike so i can pick up the cig butt and throw it back into their car

[Triad]

Where I work is primarily mountain-ous and foresty...so if I see someone doing it, they will get a ticket from me, everytime.

Fire evacuations are a PAIN and people shouldn't have to worry about losing their house because of some ADAM HENRY's inability to reach 2 feet infront of him and put his butt in the ashtray.

im suprised they dont put people to death in california for something like smoking anymore.

[N6ATF]

That's redundant.

[Turbinator]

I'm not a LEO, but everytime I see someone litter it just makes me wish I had a badge so that I could lay down some punishment. Glad to hear you guys don't give any slack on this. Keep it up!

Not just a badge, I hear you need a lot of patience and a high tolerance for BS bureacracy. Run the ID of a litterer and they might come up with warrants, and then it's arrest, seizure of vehicle, paperwork paperwork paperwork!

[Wompinblazer]

What the hell is a cheese party?

[socalsheepdog]

When you cite someone for flicking a single butt out the window, your citing them for a lifetime habit of flicking butts out the window. They didn't just start that yesterday.

When I am in my POV and on a wilderness road and see it, I voice note their horse power into my phone and the location in case there is a fire. Not a bad thing for everyone to do.

I was watching that show, the first 48 this morning when I saw one of the homicide detectives flip a lit cigarette butt out the window of the car he was riding in while the camera was trained on him and he was talking.
