Baton Rouge - Littering Law Re Bums, Panhandlers
Posted on 8/1/21 at 9:15 am
Posted on 8/1/21 at 9:15 am
Just drove by the intersection of Sherwood and exiting the off-ramp of I-12 westbound. There are big gulps and trash littering practically every square inch by that light on up that hill under the crape myrtles.
Every city and even statewide has a Littering Law that has teeth like court costs and possibly even jail time beyond just the monetary fine.
Similar to other Louisiana laws that can far-reach like omnibus clauses on car insurance for example (aka guilty by association), why can't the city of Baton Rudge use this as a way to clean up the mess. It's gotten so bad on Siegen that it's now become Slab City (squatter tents) California.
Eta: What is a bum's fascination with a 64-ounce big gulp? It's like that's their signature status symbol.

Don’t worry, all those exits have fancy new signs asking people to not give them money. The homeless problem in BR has finally been solved

Littering is way under punished.
I can't stand a lazy arse.

To make sure I’m understanding you:
Your argument is that anyone seen near litter, whether they produced it or not, would be deemed guilty of the criminal offense of littering?

I think I’d rather be in jail than homeless in BR in August.

Go look under the I-10 overpass on siegan between the concrete walls. They’re piles and piles of trash along with grocery carts. It’s disgusting and no one in our local government gives a shite.

That it is to be cleaned, and then signs warning that anyone sitting next to the trash would then be seen as responsible when it's checked at several points in the day.
Not uncommon to how LSU and many other schools handled tailgating. Yes, I think you want to box me in with a "gotcha" but essentially that's exactly what I'm saying.

I’d guess the police don’t put the bums in jail or waste time ticketing because they’re too busy trying to control murderville with the shrinking resources they have.

Let’s try to get the violent crime under control in BR before we start putting police on litter patrol.

I wish they would do away with Styrofoam cups and soda fountains.
Go back to returnable bottles with a deposit. It’ll never happen. We had litter when I was young but not like it is now.
If we didn’t have returnable bottles in the sixties we would have never heard of Curtis Lowe.

Or I wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying. Which it sounds like I did. How is that trying for a “gotcha”, exactly?

Nice pivot, you and I knew exactly where you were going with this. I preemptively threw you off course, so much that you responded with a smiley face.
Now since we've gotten through your Karen attempts, do you care to actually offer any substance to this discussion? Or do you want to play Facebook tiddly winks all morning?

I was waiting for the light at Siegen/10E the other day and got to watch two of BRs finest check knuckles over a grocery cart. You can’t get that kind of local color just anywhere

The bums will never be punished for littering. In Shreveport, the bums would go to the food pantry where they would be given food to go. The bums would immediately throw all the trash out on the ground. For whatever reason, bums have absolute immunity when it comes to trashing up the environment.

Holy shite, some of you are fricking insane…

Pointless to try and penalize a person who is penniless and has no income or bank account with fines. And locking them up only further shifts the burden to the parish and taxpayers.
The smart answer is wood chipper or incinerator.
