I'll await more details.
Since when cleaning up the place or ensuring that it is clean became the job of the police? You people got to be sick. It is our civic duty to clean our sorroundings. There is also a department responsible for that in case you did not know. They can can also take people to court for any breach as it relates to the improper disposal of garbage. The problem in this country is that everything that happen we want to blame the police.
stop blame the government for everything man s..t.
