Does anyone know those council wardens that patrol about and can fine you for dropping cigarettes, litter and things. This is were I can't get a straight answer, are you legally obliged to give them your details like a police officer? I also don't know if its an act or law That backs them up, if its an act then I'm sure I don't need to say anything as an act isn't a law its an agreement between two or more parties. However I'm no expert.
{Ed033's Note - well, this is where you have to ask yourself whether you're living in police state.
After you get arrested, the first thing out of a police officers mouth is; you have the right to remain silent.
The answer is that you have the right to remain silent. However if you ever find yourself under arrest for remaining silent, you know you're in a police state.

Thanks ed, those wardens are rife in my area its like there just out to make money for the system. Iv even seen them stand across the road from my local pub just waiting for someone to drop cigarette butt. I'm starting to believe that we do live in a police state. Thanks again. If they confront me Il remain silent, Il just kid on I'm a mute lol.
{Ed033's Note - yes, just walk away from them and keep walking.

I'm not in favour of litter wardens giving out fines, but people who throw their rubbish on the ground in public places are hugely ignorant, and I have no sympathy for them.

Agreed however every smoker has threw a butt away a few times in there life, me included. £50 fine, the most expensive ciggy you have ever smoked lol.

I'm with you rian. But the council need to start providing enough bins. I will walk continuing on my journey without detour for ten mins with rubbish in my hand if I don't come across a bin it goes on the floor.
{Ed033's Note - People have to realise that their 'council' is not the hundreds of years old original council, but instead, their 'council' is a for profit company with shareholders that just happens to have the word 'council' in its company name.
Every 'council' is solely there for the benefit of the shareholders of that company and that means all the 'council' is interested in is increased profits for its shareholders.
