Woman Fined for Pouring Coffee Down Sewer

She appealed to have the unbelievable fine overturned and was told to pay up.

They said, “Our priority is to make sure that the borough is clean and litter free and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.”
The real question: What if this incident had not become public? Would there have been any refund or apology?
