An artical from The Daily Record newspaper which i thoought you might enjoy.

Police hand out a £50 fine to an unemployed man who dropped a tenner in the street.

He said: "I had come out of the Capability Scotland shop in Ayr with a £3 T-shirt. I had £17 change so I put the seven pound coins in my front pocket and tried to put the receipt and the tenner in my back pocket.

He walked on four or five yards and I heard a policeman say, 'Hey son, wait a minute.' I said "thanks" and I bent over and picked the tenner and receipt up.

He said I was littering and that I was getting a spot fine. "I couldn't believe my ears". He explained "I'm completely skint and I certainly can't afford to go chucking tenners around, the fine's a week's cash for me to feed and clothe myself and pay bills."

A spokesman for Ayr police said: "A male was issued with a fixed penalty notice for an act of littering".
