Model 3 Camera caught this Model Citizen

Nice.....at first I was like wait...how do you know he didn’t just “run over it” and it came out from under his car. I HATE when a bag goes under my car and it “looks like I threw it out” when it exits the rear. Then I zoomed in and clearly see him ROLL DOWN HIS WINDOW AND THROW IT OUT. WTF!? I see this all the time. Drives me crazy...just like all the smokers who toss butts by the HUNDREDS out their windows...STILL LIT. I feel like pulling up next to them and saying “uh....seems like you dropped something back there”. But....ROAD RAGE.

Cities need to have mobile cameras placed at freeway ramps to catch people who litter. A few $500 fines would deter a lot of litter.

Someone mentioned that there was often a lot of rubbish left when arriving at a supercharger.
It's true that there is no garbage bin there... but honestly, could people behave like if they were at home?
States with Littering Penalties
Some of my favorites are:
N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. §163-B:3 et seq. Misdemeanor. Imprisonment up to one year and fine up to $2,000 (§651:2); or, at court's discretion, conviction may require time spent cleaning the area where littering occurred. The court may publish the names of convicted persons.
Mich. Comp. Laws §324.8902 et seq. Civil Infraction. Litter amounts less than one cubic foot: fine up to $800. Litter amounts greater than one cubic foot but less than three cubic feet: fine up to $1,500. Litter amounts greater than three cubic feet: fine up to $2,500 for first conviction and up to $5,000 for subsequent convictions. (See 324.8905a). For litter thrown into the path of a moving vehicle on a highway, misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of up to one year, fine up to $500, or both (§324.8903). In addition to penalties, the court may also require violators to pay for the cost of litter removal and any property damage (§324.8905b). Littering of material produced at a health facility is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment up to six months, fine up to $1,000, or both. Litter that involves infectious waste or pathological waste is a felony punishable by imprisonment up to 2 years, fine of up to $5,000, or both. Subsequent convictions punishable by imprisonment between one and five years and fine up to $10,000 (§324.8905).
Unfortunately jail time rarely occurs when it is listed as a punishment. The roadside biohazard bombs used by people that pee in bottles and throw out window disgust me more than anything. People maintain and mow the sides of roads. They wear spray visors because of this. I would like to play the dunk tank game with people that do that type of littering. Just no water below.

We had somebody dump their household trash at the side of the road, including their mail.
Contacted the Sheriff, and they said "We can't do anything. We have to see them do it."

I'm not convinced. I've seen many a luxury car dump trash on the freeway. I used to commute 150 miles a day by motorcycle. Often it's just flaming cigarette butts so it doesn't stink up their car. But it can also be glass booze bottles and beer cans for legal reasons.
I was running and a person at a red light through trash out as I was in crosswalk. I veered to below his window picked it up and held it up as I ran by front of car and said "I'll get this for you". Of course after I threw in trash can (hard to find since my brain is still on HW 2.5 
) I used $5,550 worth (4 drops) of hand sanitizer.
