MLG routinely complains I never let him have any fun. ’Course, the “fun” he’s talking about could result on the appending of the words “Master Criminal” after his name on the Wanted posters, so yeah, I sometimes put my foot down. That said, had this joker tried this stunt on him, I’d have told MLG to wait until I got the camera before he started pounding the piss out of him.
Whoever he is, this litterbug vigilante doesn’t like to see people flicking cigarette butts from their car windows. Police are looking for a man who posed as a state trooper and stopped a woman in Gardiner who allegedly tossed a spent cigarette from her car window.
Police said the man was driving a red pickup truck with a dash-mounted flashing blue light when he stopped the woman and told her he was an off-duty state trooper.
Police said the impersonator never threatened the woman. He told the woman he had stopped her because she threw a cigarette butt out the window in Augusta. He neither asked for nor showed any identification.
People, you don’t stop for a fucking PICKUP TRUCK with a light on it. Also, BEATDOWN.
The impersonator should be thrown under the jail. While I applaud his sense of outrage at the blight of butts everywhere, uh… no, buddy.

I am infuriated by litterers too, but the fake blue-light people are breaking the law so fuck ‘em. Jail time for bozos.

I dealt with a butt thrower once … he kept chucking them out at intervals through the Oregon State Forest during an extreme fire danger period. Wrote down the milepost markers where he threw the butts, the times, his license number, and his physical description.
Then stopped and called the police once we finished driving through the coast range.
That butthead started three fires that night, and caused one house to burn down. He did end up in prison for his efforts. The butts were only worth $500 a piece, but the reckless endangerment charge ( the house was occupied ) put him away.
