Chip chucker shoped
Discussion
BBC news said:
Mathew Buer, 21, of Clacton, was fined £50 by Colchester Borough Council after he was spotted littering on the A133.
Mr Buer had paid the fine and thought the matter was settled until a second demand for payment was posted to him from neighbouring Tendring District.
A council employee who was driving behind him notified both authorities.
Chip after chip
Mike Page, a spokesman for Tendring District Council, said on Wednesday that one of its employees had been driving behind Mr Buer and had reported him after taking offence at seeing him throwing the chips.
"It wasn't just a few chips - this was chip after chip and the wrapping as well," he said.
"It covered a fair distance and the employee who was following him obviously took exception and notified both authorities."
Just seen this spotty oink on the local news complaining how hard done by he was....
Poor little lamb....
It's inbred monobrow little sh1ts like him who give the area such a bad name!!
Why the hell can't people have a little pride in where they live?
And finally, why the hell throw away food?
I bet he's the sort who doesn't like pies.
Still I bet two fines really pi55ed on his chips.

Whilst I don't support his actions and agree that he deserved to get a fine. I don't see that dropping a chip is littering. Yes, the wrapping etc, but a chip is biodegradable (or most likely will get eaten by some wild creature, unless they're on a diet). Since he ditched the wrapper presumably when he had finished the fine should have been payable where he dropped the wrapper. If dropping of actual chips were a crime then surely if would be an offence to feed the ducks bread in the local park? Or indeed, could I be fined for trees on my property dropping leaves and littering? Just a thought.

Dropping a chip isn't littering. Dropping lots of them is.
