Just to be clear, I did not intend to bring the topic to modern slavery, I meant about netting people who were not sufficiently proven.The problem with the proposals of making fines higher and offenders clean up, is the problem of seeing them do it. If you don’t know who did it, you can’t decide who to fine/force. Which makes Bilby’s concern very real.
My proposal emphasized utilizing contractors who would actively oversee the cleanup efforts while also offering appropriate training and equipment. Bilby's concerns, though valid due to the unfortunate reality of racism in the world, renders my suggestion less feasible. I notice a tendency to scrutinize my proposal in a context of advocating for slavery, rather than evaluating it on its own merits. This assumption, I must say, is both unfounded and distasteful.
For example, when I see anyone pulled over on the side of my road, I take a picture of their plate. Then I go look later to see if they dumped. Granted the police don’t do anything about this in the least, but if they did I could unduly harrass someone with pictures.
That’s all.
The bigger problem is you don’t even get a npicture. There’s just litter and no perp, so there is no one to fine or force to clean up.
