She said NOTHING. Couldn't care less!!!

I understand where you are coming from Justin and back in the day it probably wouldn't have any consequences for you but not today. Actions such as this leaves you vulnerable to having an interim AVO [Apprehended Violence Order] taken out against you and following that you would also have to appear before a magistrate.

With todays laws I suggest it is probably best to not get involved.

Wow. I guess that is possible...

Makes me even more determined to become a recluse...

Exactly there is a number to call for littering all you need is the rego # date and time and it`s out of your hands
Someone i know got a fine from the EPA for something very similar
Takes it right out your hands

Geez... and here is me thinking it's a pity they didn't have an open sunroof

With regard to that littering number. How can they levy a fine, or take any other action, purely on someone calling and saying rego xyz dropped litter? Is evidence not required?

As far as I know Simon in WA the person will get a written warning from a "dob in",its all they can do.They wont take it to court on a he said she said matter.
However,with dashcam footage I'm sure they will hand out a fine,especially if the footage contains day time and GPS info,which most cams provide.

Ring up and dob your self in then you will find out first hand
What i quoted happened about 6 years ago .
Funny the person involved was a security guard at work (Honest Person) He rang up the EPA said he hasnt smoked for years .They dropped the fine over the phone so i guess it`s all too hard to chase up
