Fahrer wird mit Geldstrafe belegt, weil er Zigarette aus dem Fenster geschnippt hat, und besteht darauf, dass es Rotz war

„the statement by the environment officer was deemed enough“ is such a ridiculous money-grubbing argument.

If he was telling the truth about it being snot I do hope it wins. Even without, I’ll play devils advocate this one time to set the legal precedent. These new ‚environemnt officers‘ shouldn’t have the authority to issue fines without any evidence. They could fine anyone for anything.

He should be able to get a note from the doctor he supposedly visited and likely get it cleared although unfortunately I do have the suspicion he probably was smoking and littering by the facts of the case.

But still. EO should have took a photo.

Snot is still waste that should not be disposed of on the ground. No different from taking a shit out the window.
