These stories really piss me off. How sad is it that any place has to install hidden cameras to either catch or deter scumbags from littering a place up so bad that the supervisor of an inmate crew says they collect up to 100 bags of roadside garbage in a single day.
100 friggin bags of trash. Great use of inmates but damn shame it has to be done. This litter problem is what prompted officials at Henry County Virginia to go to the lengths of actually installing hidden cameras.
The penalty for littering in Henry County is a fine between $250-2,500, as well as up to one year in jail and I hope those cameras help the county fine and lock up a bunch. Actually it would be better to give them a TON of community service and make it really hurt.
Make them pick up trash on roadways for a thousand hours 1st offense and jail on subsequent offenses.
Anybody who is scummy enough to litter our great country has no respect and needs to learn a hard lesson.
Good luck Henry County!
