I hope this leads to a draconian crackdown on cigarette butts out the window. Make the fine $10,000, and get the RCMP and city police services go ape-sh#t on it. Dash cam footage and just calls from citizens reporting a plate should garner a phone call from the local police telling the plate owner that they've been warned.
It pisses me off when I see people do that. Even when I smoked I kept one of those $4 butt cups in my cupholder. If you're too cheap for that, just use a pop can. Seriously. Drives me crazy. Last spring I was driving toward Bragg Creek, and after the non winter we had, it bush was tinder dry. The guy in front of me flicked his butt out the window. Just absolutely mind-numbingly stupid. I wanted to call the RCMP, but I doubted they'd do anything about it, so I just hated him from my truck.
