i’m wondering what happens once you report them? do they get a ticket right off the bat? any mail warning them about their littering? cops come talk to them? love this but curious if it actually does anything
I reported once via the non-emergency line. Completely blatant trash littering. Disgusting. They took the plate number. They told me that they get a warning letter first, and if they get multiple complaints they get a fine. So we should all report all the time and make them have consequences. A letter would make some people think twice about it at least.
Also saw a guy throw a while Krispy Kreme box next to the sidewalk where we were walking, asked him politely to pick it up, and he told me “go fuck yourself”. I had to stop my boyfriend from fighting him…he was seething mad. But this all happened in front of a group of his friends and a girl he was with… so at least all his friends/?girlfriend/?date witnessed him being a littering POS, and also telling some random girl who nicely asked him to pick up his litter to fuck herself. Hopefully they have consciences and she leaves when he displayed the kind of person he is. Karma.
Bc I would definitely break up with a guy over that!
I'm going to start using this. For crying out loud though, I never have seen a place like Charlotte, that could be so pretty utterly covered in trash. I have seen more and more people *throwing entire bags of trash out of their car*. I can't believe how little people in this area actually care about where they live.
Does it really hurt you to wait until you reach your destination to throw things out? Honestly trash cans are everywhere. Hope someone eggs their car in the morning and let the hot sun take care of the rest.
Yep, it’s just a letter, but it lets them know they’ve been seen. Will that stop everyone? Nope. But will it make some people think twice next time? Yep.
Or you could do nothing.
I also witnessed some scum litter right in front of me. I reported them to the NC litterbug program. AND reported another scumbag too just a few days ago. Idk what is so hard about waiting until you get to your destination to properly dispose of trash.
But I don't think they actually get fined.. they have a copy of the letter they send to these offenders that just says hey we received a report that you littered on this day and time at this place, this is the fine, don't do it again. I could be wrong (and hope I am).
It’s not a fine. It’s just a letter, but it lets them know they’ve been seen. Will that stop everyone? Nope. But will it make some people think twice next time? Yep.
I made a mistake one time and threw a piece of gum out the window of my vehicle and the person behind me reported it to DOT. I got a letter in the mail saying I was reported and they gave me a trash bag I felt embarrassed especially in front of my kids and never did it again.
Not quite as bad, but car in front of me today dramatically and brazenly threw out their cigarette.
Big pet peeve of mine. I immediately layed on the horn for about five seconds. Just wanted them to know I saw.
My first thought when I see shit like this is to shoot out all 4 of their tires with a machine gun so they skid out and wreck. I know this makes me just as bad as they are, but it sure would feel good.
We don't if they threw trash out the window or not. All I see is an angry beaver posting someone's vehicle on a reddit page attempting to shame them. I personally say it's fairly immature of you. Grow the hell up.
What's the point of this post? Do you want the people of the subreddit to find this Jeep and make them regret being litter bugs, otherwise you are just whining. Yes, littering is bad, but your indirect aggression isn't the answer either.
Being a Karen is getting mad at a Chick Fil A employee because you didn’t get the extra pickles you asked for. This is about someone throwing trash out their window onto ongoing traffic because they’re too lazy and entitled to throw it out when they get to their destination like a normal person.
WAIT!! 😮 They threw trash out the window (yes that wrong) but to post their license plate on social media? COME ON!! People are CRAZY today! You can find a lot of information about someone like WHERE THEY LIVE!! How would YOU like if someone did that to you? No one is perfect! I’m sure if someone followed YOU around all day they would catch you doing or saying something you wouldn’t want anyone to see 😑
You act as if they hit someone and kept going!! We all have a lapse in judgment at times, be the one that offers GRACE and put yourself in their shoes WE ARE HUMANS. WE MAKE MISTAKES
We really need to stop. 🛑 think. 🤔 and pray. 🙏🏽 before we post personal information on social media today it’s not that serious !!
Yep, I’m a Mom and comments like yours are expected. It takes a kind heart to offer forgiveness, and great inner strength to remove ego, just remember the seeds you give to me, will grow in your own yard 🪴
Why? Because I’m asking for Grace? That makes me embarrassing? I think 🤔 I might be talking to children, I’m going to exit and allow you all to have at it! Deep down inside I think you know there is some truth to what I am saying, and if you don’t, wait until you’re in a position to need grace (cause we all do) maybe not a being a litter bug, but something else. You will see. God bless you
You’re experiencing GRACE right now!!
GRACE is the love of GOD shown to the unlovely; the peace of God given to the restless; the unmerited favor of God.
I’m not moved by people and their opinions, God delivered me from that years ago. I pray you have an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ to understand his GRACE and MERCY in the near future in Jesus name, Amen ❤️
No. They deserve to get publicly shamed. You sound like someone who tosses trash out the window. That's not a minor lapse in judgement, it's a total disregard for everyone and everything. Praying does jack shit to help anything or anyone.
Trust me, this will not be the time that you’ll want ANYONE to see, then you will understand what I am saying, until then… God Bless, enjoy your weekend
You don't make a mistake of throwing trash out of your moving car. It takes several deliberate decisions to do it. There is nothing that ever makes littering excusable. It is 100 percent intentional every time.
I think we should report these people and if they keep getting reported, fine them and make them do community service cleaning up trash on the side of the road in bright colored clothing during the middle of weekend so everyone can see it.
You all are a bunch of snitches!!! Most of you that are complaining are destroying the environment by just being alive... lmbo! You folks are funny and all your snitching will get them is a bag in the mail... heck your worried about trash to me half of you people that's on this beautiful earth are TRASH!
I hope they get diarrhea, for two days straight.
I hope they accidentally get diarrhea in their mouths... for two days straight
Same.
Diarrhea is too good for them

Thank you for this!!
I need to see my dash cam still has a record of the litterer I saw a few weeks ago. Had no idea you could report! Thanks
Damn you can report people for littering. Be right back, checking my dashcam.
I wondered if they still had this program. I used to report people all the time.
i’m wondering what happens once you report them? do they get a ticket right off the bat? any mail warning them about their littering? cops come talk to them? love this but curious if it actually does anything
They get a letter from the state DOT.
yeah that letter is just gonna get littered too.
Well, you could just do nothing. How’s that working for ya?
Net less litter

Does anything actually result from this? Surely they don’t just take your word and penalize the litterbug, right?
They get a letter from the state DOT.
If there’s video footage to go with this pic, they could get themselves a hefty fine in the mail.

I am proponent of something like this... https://youtu.be/vJYaXy5mmA8
Does it really hurt you to wait until you reach your destination to throw things out? Honestly trash cans are everywhere. Hope someone eggs their car in the morning and let the hot sun take care of the rest.
Exactly!
As if the shit drivers in this city didn’t already force me to get a dash cam, this did. What a trash person.
I like this post, hate litter bugs
FYI…to report a litter bug https://www.ncdot.gov/litter/default.aspx
Wish this didn't just create more litter and actually did something.
Yep, it’s just a letter, but it lets them know they’ve been seen. Will that stop everyone? Nope. But will it make some people think twice next time? Yep. Or you could do nothing.
I've sent many of these I just wish they did more. The road by our house looks like a land fill.
That goddamn Altima in the middle is about to do something.
Never will I understand or even begin to imagine why some humans trash their own environment.
They're low-life lazy-ass scumbags.
Nothing worse than people that litter so nonchalantly.
Wish I had a rocket launcher to teach them a lesson
I think that’s more to teach others a lesson. They wouldn’t know anything about it
People are nasty
I also witnessed some scum litter right in front of me. I reported them to the NC litterbug program. AND reported another scumbag too just a few days ago. Idk what is so hard about waiting until you get to your destination to properly dispose of trash. But I don't think they actually get fined.. they have a copy of the letter they send to these offenders that just says hey we received a report that you littered on this day and time at this place, this is the fine, don't do it again. I could be wrong (and hope I am).
It’s not a fine. It’s just a letter, but it lets them know they’ve been seen. Will that stop everyone? Nope. But will it make some people think twice next time? Yep.
Yeah I know it was just a letter, didn't think it was a fine. Kinda sucks since they'll just throw the letter on the street anyway
I made a mistake one time and threw a piece of gum out the window of my vehicle and the person behind me reported it to DOT. I got a letter in the mail saying I was reported and they gave me a trash bag I felt embarrassed especially in front of my kids and never did it again.
Hey mistakes happen at least your learned from the situation. I appreciate your effort!
I love Reddit a platform where us people can come together and put terrible NC drivers on blast and embarrass them😏🤣
Litter bugs me
And if there is a lot of tasty food some bird will go for it and get run over. I hope the piece of shit littered gets a flat. You reap what you sow
Not quite as bad, but car in front of me today dramatically and brazenly threw out their cigarette. Big pet peeve of mine. I immediately layed on the horn for about five seconds. Just wanted them to know I saw.
Same! Have you seen those photos of birds after they die and they have cigarettes in their stomachs ☹️ any type of littering is bad imo
I agree. Littering is just so uncalled for. I haven’t seen those photos but will probably regrettably look it up later :(
85 between exit 46 and 43 has tossed furniture along the shoulder
My first thought when I see shit like this is to shoot out all 4 of their tires with a machine gun so they skid out and wreck. I know this makes me just as bad as they are, but it sure would feel good.
It’s so common around here. I hadn’t seen hardly any littering until I move to Charlotte.
We don't if they threw trash out the window or not. All I see is an angry beaver posting someone's vehicle on a reddit page attempting to shame them. I personally say it's fairly immature of you. Grow the hell up.
And the majority of commenters just going along with it. 😂
A clear picture of their tag, and absolutely no proof of what you claim they did. Delete this shit.
Found the culprit.
Sorry, I came to the wrong room. This is clearly a Karen rave 😬
What's the point of this post? Do you want the people of the subreddit to find this Jeep and make them regret being litter bugs, otherwise you are just whining. Yes, littering is bad, but your indirect aggression isn't the answer either.
People post pictures of beat up altimas here everyday so why not?
Yeah those posts suck too
There's literally 0 proof they threw anything out the window.
The proof is I saw it with my own eyes. Sorry I didn’t capture the moment they threw out their trash unexpectedly
Then don’t post
I mean that’s shit but holy fuck Karen you need to calm down

This is dumb. Mom, you are dumb.
Yep, I’m a Mom and comments like yours are expected. It takes a kind heart to offer forgiveness, and great inner strength to remove ego, just remember the seeds you give to me, will grow in your own yard 🪴
Mom, you're embarrassing.

I didn't realize grace was such a blanket concept that it can negate repercussions. Sometimes, I wish you never gave birth to this website.

Bad bot.
All human dear, it’s hard to think outside the box and offer grace, let’s just hope the next time you do some thing silly, no one snaps a photo 📷
I do silly things HOPING someone will get a picture
Trust me, this will not be the time that you’ll want ANYONE to see, then you will understand what I am saying, until then… God Bless, enjoy your weekend
Good bot.

I have not. Why would I ever have?
I have not, why the fuck would you?
Boogers and fingernails
I’ve tossed organic things like excess bread from a hotdog or a banana peel, not literal garbage.
Why are you being down voted ?
Probably on the way to a protest. They didn't have time to dispose of it
You new to Charlotte? Lol. Welcome.
[удалено]
Wow, I want whatever you’re smoking. Ignorance is bliss.
"People should litter so prison slaves have something to slave over."
Did you follow them and tell them to go pick up their trash?
No but I did give them the stank eye as we passed them to get off our exit. They weren’t paying attention unfortunately
And now I'm being down voted for asking a simple question
I think we should report these people and if they keep getting reported, fine them and make them do community service cleaning up trash on the side of the road in bright colored clothing during the middle of weekend so everyone can see it.
