I can’t believe they put him in jail over picking up the garbage. I can’t believe they didn’t punish waste management. This just blows my mind!! They should have to take care of their own garbage. I get lawn crews can be annoying but a garbage truck??? It was his first offense and he get’s 30 days in jail.

First : Anyone who calls 911 for a garbage truck picking up garbage should be fined. Not an emergency. 

 

A neighborhood that boasts having executives and professional athletes probably also has some political ties. Keep the rich happy and crap on everyone else. 30 days in jail for essentially a noise complaint? If that was enforced across the board, every college student would have served jail time at some point.

Privatized court that’s just awesome. I hope they can afford the counter suit this guy should file. I can’t stand people with more money than common sense. The guy is doing his job and a good job at it and that’s what he gets. People wonder why no one wants to do “more” any longer.

I think every garbage collector should just ignore that part of the town. Let the rich a-holes figure out how deal with their garbage. I just can’t believe they held him not the company responsible. They give him a route and a certain amount of time to accomplish that. This is the world we live in now. I really wish he could sue and get some money out of this because that is overkill for first offense. They should also have big ass signs stating that they have a noise ordinance because how are you supposed to know what the rules are in every little city.

I can understand everyone being annoyed at the noise at that hour of the morning. it would annoy me.

but surely a warning would be enough for the first offence.

 

if they did that to me I would be there at 7 01 am and make loads of noise doing it.

I would bring all the garbage back and dump it on their lawns.

I showed this to my two buddies in autobody there solution to the problem is simple take my buddies Ram 1500 and my other friends civic and blast thought the neighborhood at 2-3 am randomly every week or so but most often Saturdays and Sundays. The best thing is my friends cars because were high school students have essentially no muffler.
