The park next door has a table families often eat at and pretty much every time I walk by there's food/trash around it from messy kids or parents who just don't give AF. Last time there was french fries all over along with some fast food trash. There's also a trash can very close but it doesn't seem to help.

Seems like there has to be some simple solution aside from "don't use the parks", and yes it's definitely not just homeless folks who litter in parks.

Maybe they should ban McDonald’s then? /s

Or I dunno. Maybe just a blanket ban on throwing trash on the ground that applies to everyone 🤯

It is called littering that is already a thing just hardly enforced when Cops are busying wanking off at proud boy rallies

would you like cops to hang out at the park giving people luttering tickets?

I mean that might work on the types who pay tickets.

They said make it illegal, I'm telling them it already is lol

I could see a "leave our parks how you found them" sorta buzz weeks but I would not want meter maid type of position focused on such things, but I could see such during 4th of July type weekends.

I mean, I wish I could have the same complacency at my job that cops have at theirs. They absolutely should be ticketing people for littering. It’s illegal right? It’s up to the judge and the courts what happens after they’re ticketed. Whether they’re going to pay or not has no bearing on whether or not a police officer should do their job.

Talk about complacency and then talk about assigning the most useless of work. You should probably take a ride along sometime.
