So there is money in what people throw away then.

Josie Appleton, the report's author, said she thought some local authorities were using the fines to make money.
You're very cynical Josie, if you don't mind me saying. Newham are just making the borough tidy and therefore more welcoming for passing motorists to park up and leave their cars unattended for about 10 minutes or so. Also, litter carries germs which pose a danger to Newham residents, many of whom are children.

If people just ignored these wannabe tits in hi viz there would be no problem. Don't answer any of their questions and walk away. If they lay a hand on you defend yourself from bodily assault. They have no fecking powers of arrest and you are under no obligation to answer any questions. W*nkers.
Ewan Hoosami:
I see from the video the council have made them look as much like cozzers as possible and trained them in the art of carefully scripted bullshit to make the victims think they have no choice but to virtually open their wallets there and then. For £600k to have changed hands, the bullshit must be pretty believable. Wankers indeed.

Errr, actually, they do have the power of arrest - the same one everybody in the UK does - that of "citizens arrest" or "any person power of arrest". I'd be a little bit careful about "defending yourself" or you could end up being done for "assaulting a designated/accredited person" which is not far off assaulting Police.

Come on Dick. At the very worst the RSPCA might have an issue with you subjecting a weasel to unnecessary cruelty.
