The fines are high for littering, however when did you every see someone get fined. Not trying to be an a** but if you ask me I would love to see more fines handed out to the dirt bags that litter.

For all I care, they should raise the littering fine. You should only have to worry about what the fine is if you're out there littering yourself!

I suppose you guys are right. Even with such a high fine I still see a lot of garbage on most California streets.
