On video at least. The perpetrators are still at large but should be traceable. Their open contempt is particularly grinding.
It goes to show that neighborhood action is ultimately the best defense.

Send their asses to prison. Not jail, prison.
Few things get me heated like dumping trash like Detroit is your personal toilet.
I'm going to step out on a limb and guess they don't live in the city. How would they fucking like it if people dump gutted houses and tires on their streets and corners and lots?
jeez. Im going to leave my opinions out of this post and just sum it up with 1 word.
Disgusting
What would that accomplish?Quote:

Great idea.
Brilliant.Quote:

If these rejects came back multiple times that means there were plenty of opportunities to turn their own discarded 2x4's into spike strips! If the cops won't show you do what you have to do to protect your neighborhood.
This is when star nails would come in handy. Failing that, roofing nails would make a reasonable substitute if strewn about in good quantity.
A busted-in windshield on a rental truck is a fairly strong message.
Raise the fine to $5000 or $10,000 and impound the vehicle. This would make enforcement profitable to the city and costly to the dumpers.
Where are the carjackers when you need them?
Unless the dumpers are working for a medium to large sized construction company, I don't think you'd collect a fine like that.Quote:

Do you know how much money it would cost to have these people clean up these mounds of garbage, some of it heavy or contaminated? It's not like handing someone a stick and a bag and have them pick up litter along I-75, which would probably be a better option since the program is already in place.
Shouldn't be hard to catch these guys. The Penske vehicle that was used in this case was rented. You need to show I.D. with a credit card to rent it. The licence plate was recorded, so with that info they should know who rented that particular vehicle.Quote:

But you are right. The sad irony is that Roger Penske footed the bill for the Downtown Detroit clean-up crews for years.
If they don't pay the fine, then you can make their life miserable. The point is there is no downside for these people. Impound the vehicle, garnish wages whatever. You simply don't want them dumping in the first place.Quote:

A fine and community service are what is needed. I never understood why people would want to pay to keep non-violent people behind bars, when we could make them pay us or work for us instead...
What I don't understand is why go through all the trouble of gathering up all this refuse just to dump it somewhere it doesn't go. Seems to me that this is done just to spit in the face of Detroit - done just to show contempt for Detroit and its citizens. If one has the work ethic to gather up the refuse they can take it to where it goes. They obviously didn't neglect to take this trash to the city dump or other trash collection site due to laziness.
There's no charge to dump it on the street, there is a fee at the dump...Quote:

What are the actual charges one would encounter at the dump?
Perhaps the prices are designed, like the taxes on cigarettes, to discourage it's use?
I paid something like $50 to dump a pickup load of debris from gutting a bathroom, not including the tub which yielded some scrap iron that we got some cash for, can't recall how much, $30 maybe.
Why don't they just fire a warning shot in the air to scare these guys. If I lived somewhere that looked like that, and some guy showed up dumping debris making it look worse, a round or two in the air might scare them. Just sayin.
My mom has a neighbor who does just that if he spies someone lurking around the vacant house next door.Quote:

With love from beautiful, awesome Warren.
That video is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
Dude says he's from Warren then he says he's from Mars. A bit of a mental health problem there maybe? LOL!Quote:

I hope the Warren police see this and come down on the guy hard. They may not be able to get him for dumping in Detroit, but something tells me they would not have to look very hard to find something to cite him for.
Doubt it. I'm sure he has some perfectly kept shitbox ranch in Warren and Warren cops are watching this and laughing their way to the bank.Quote:

His other case in Warren where he dropped trou in front of his neighbors and blames his mother for buying pants ten sizes too big is even more bizarre.
Also love the pickup truck bumper strapped to his medium duty trucks bumper. Insane in the membrane.
There are so many jack asses in this country. It's truly scary.This man is clearly unstable.
