I just hope that the focus is on the important and most serious offenders, and not some old lady who accidently loses a five pound note out of her purse on a windy day.
What about the kind people who leave usable trinkets outside their house so that less affluent people can get some use out of them? I saw a nice box of kids shoes put outside someones house the other day, in good nick, which could have saved a less well off family a sizable chunk of money. Would these people now face fines for littering/fly tipping therefor putting them off future alturistic acts?
I think you're both going to be disappointed. The powers that be are not at all concerned about public reaction and the task force will have no discretion at all. They've been given a top 10 of the most serious types of offenders to target. Leaving nice kids shoes outside your house for less fortunate people is number 5 on their hit list and old ladies accidentally dropping a fiver comes in at number 1.
