Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill
shalafi@lemmy.world 1 day agoThe government won’t do shit, and shouldn’t. Let’s say you and I are neighbors and I hate your guts. Guess where I’m going with this. All I need to do is get a letter out your trash and stuff it in couch.
Without video evidence, there’s no evidence, not the kind local authorities are qualified to track, or have the time and money to track.

It all comes down to plausibility. A repeat offender that clearly doesn’t give a flying fuck or somebody that pays for trash collection services and has no reason to dump their garbage but they also have an asshole neighbour with a personal vendetta. Or it is building materials and that address just had work done Or they paid a contractor for work and cleaning up and the contractor dumped it on the forest. I’m sure the authorities won’t bother with it if it happens once but when it’s the second or third time with the same suspect, well then you actually have a case.

Yes! In some cases you could make a point strong enough to call in enforcement. What I had in mind was the random crap pictured in the post.
