He was the finest picker to ever play the blues.

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.
This is the whole problem of being a victim of crime in most circumstances. Can't garnish wages, can't sue them, they have nothing of value to lose they just spend some time in jail and try again.

would only help with certain trash (cans and bottles) but in Michigan you pay a extra few cents tax on the purchase of cans of coke or bottles and then at the same grocery stores, etc. you can turn them back in the machine and get the tax paid back. Its not a lot (a few cents per can) but the homeless and drug addicts spend alot of their time searching for the litter and selling it back to the machine at the store so they can get money. (IIRC that was how the system was) and there was a night and day difference between the litter up there than in La.

Your argument is that anyone seen near litter, whether they produced it or not, would be deemed guilty of the criminal offense of littering?
Yes, guilt by association. The same way your kind treats cops and white males.

I picked up quite a few bottles myself n the 60’s. I would pull a red wagon behind my bike
if you hit it eary in the morning and knew the hotspots you could pick up 100 bottles easily in 3 hours or so. That was 5or 6 bucks. Not bad for a six year old in 1963.
Time to hit the snowball stand.

This is why institutionalization needs to be brought back.
Not penalizing them in any way just encourages more of them to come to the area.
