| Comment | A change in law needs to happen to make the system more effective.
As it stands, these litter wardens have zero actual power.
You're not legally obligated to give them your name or details. They can phone the actual police to come to get your details, but the police put those calls way down low on priority and the wardens have very little powers to detain other than citizen's arrest (get's messy, legally, when it's over a dropped fag end).
Can't the fines can be collected via usual debt recovery channels? I don't understand how or why the council don't just pass the unpaid fines onto Walker Love or Scott & Co like every other council debt. |
