I seriously doubt the man would risk the hassle or fine for the sake of a bit of paper he could put back in his pocket, sure there's more to this story then is being reported.
"Arthritis Sufferer"
It's always the bad side of life.
personally, alot of officers in alot of police forces are cocks, but alot are decent people. this is clearly an idiotic case.
thats coming from someone who hands out change in an arcade for a living?
if you say so
Still, I suppose we should be grateful that they didn't give him the waterboarding treatment.
SG, yeah I am thank you, I noticed you seem to always "side" with the cool kids.

I've never handed out a litter ticket, much better just to get people to clean their mess up and threaten them with one if they don't.
It turned out in court that he'd dropped it and had been requested several times to pick it up. He then refused his name and address details for a ticket and got himself arrested, his sheer beligerance was what got him in trouble.
Wasn't it the police who informed him that he'd dropped the money?
Or maybe there was an evil invisible dwarf in his pocket who dropped stuff.
All we can do is guess, basically.
