      Re: Got A Ticket For Littering

      Thanks everyone for your stories and advice. Especially you, Matapule. That was some wise and kind advice.

      I'm just very worried because I've seen those highway signs that say "$350 fine for littering". $350 is my next semester's tuition! I don't think its fair. But I will look into community service and find out if that's applicable. I have the same problem as before though - there's not a lot of info available online about traffic tickets.

        You gotta turn down the cuteness factor, TG, so the cops stop checking you out and catching you being naughty.

        By chance, are you blasting Sublime's "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" when drive by cops?

        That's a good one, Stephen. I might just take up smoking, so I can use it!

        I like that advice, Matapule.

        I wonder if they give out tickets for terroristic threatening.

            That is good advice to request community service shows character. I can
            imagine the judge though thinking "financial hardship" yet has the money
            for cigarettes which are not cheap anymore.

              Cavity search? Baseball bat?

              Had to look up both prolitariat and TG cigarettes...
              No problem with the first, but, what are TG's? Nothing came up on google to identify that, but your post did(!). I havn't smoked (cigarettes) since high school.

              Speaking of boogers...
              Here's a tip for the next time you feel a cop is gonna write you up:
              Make sure he see's you give a full two knuckle multi second plunge up your nose with a finger of your choice, and don't let him see you wipe it off. No cop will want to handle your license after that.
              Trust me, it works.

                  aaawww turtle girl!!!! that was a....nice thing to do....what isn't nice is throwing out a cigarette butt while you are in the car...that cigarette butt landing on our car....now that's not nice....i did him a favor by politely telling him to place that butt in his trash and not on our car ...maybe he'll think twice this time around before throwing cig butts out of his car while driving!!! that is just not a pono thing to do

                  it wasn't in a threatning manner politely told him to place it in his own trash..the bat was self defense if he came at me....it was better me than my vicious waianae cousin in the car

                  although i was hoping we would exchange phone numbers...but he hissed instead

                      I'm just glad HPD is this vigilant regarding litter. I've never even heard of anyone getting a littering ticket elsewhere.

                        I will never understand the lure of smoking cigarettes.

                        Most girls who smoke will never understand how unattractive they smell.

                        Most smokers do not think twice about tossing their butts, on the street, on the beach in the sand, out the window, no matter.

                          Most smokers probably think that it's just a single little cigarette butt.

                          However, look at the median at the intersection of Dillingham and Waikamilo and you'll see a "drift" made up of cigarette butts. These things add up quickly.

                          It used to be said in the '60s: Every litter bit hurts.

                          We all need to pick up after ourselves.

                            This is a great thread. I feel bad for turtlegirl for being caught, but like others I'm actually thrilled to read that someone has actually been ticketed for tossing a cigarette butt, let alone littering. That turtlegirl skips straight over resentment or indignation to trying to mitigate the punishment is also refreshing.

                            Good luck, turtlegirl. Community service, fine, either will hurt... but will hopefully fulfill their purpose in preventing a repeat performance.

                              Hey TG, get yourself some rubber gloves and rake, and then head out to the beach and collect two or three gallon containers of nasty cigarette butts. Take those to the court with you and show the judge that you've learned the error of your ways and have tried to make up for having littered butts by picking up a bunch of them at the beach.
                              Just like "a picture is worth a thousand words", a gallon of cigarette butts will hopefully cancel the fine.
                              Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.
