Seems to mysteriously end up in their own yards or sometimes blows back into their car. We used to have a police chief that might cut some slack on traffic violations if not too drastic but had zero tolerance on littering, fines or community service, sometimes both. Leave no trace means leaving nothing but foot prints.

Where is Canyon Lake? If you are going to place a newsclip on KZbin, the least you can do is but the location of the story in the title. Just pure laziness.

[@gumecindogarcia1070]

at Biker rallies they fine you and pay on the spot, with cash. you get a nice receipt though. sounds like a good plan. 300 dollar fine for 5 or 10 minutes of work

5k fine, 1 year in jail for any littering, no exceptions.

That's the city in them. They live at home the way they take care of the park!!
