I reported a vehicle to my LA a month or so ago for littering.
Basically, I was following the vehicle and witnessed one of it's occupants discard a plastic bottle out of the rear window.
I noted the time, date, make of car & location. I even retrieved the bottle for use as possible evidence. The act of littering carries a £100 fine around here.

I heard nothing until today, when I received an email form my LA parks, & litter person, who stated that the DVLA would not release the keeper's contact details to the Council - Reason not given, but the Council are resubmitting the info I provided to see if the DVLA will play ball.

Odd isn't it, that the DVLA can't wait to chuck keeper's details to PPCs for fictional 'infringements', yet when a LA has a legitimate reason, they won#t play ball.

If i Reported every illegal activity i saw id be forever either writing or in the Police station.Dont we all infringe at sometime or other? Speeding?

Even if they get the details of the registered keeper,that doesnt mean they were actually in the car,and its very unlikely they were in the back and im not sure the reg keeper has to grass the occupant up.

Chuck the bottle in the bin and get on with life,maybe time to look at hobbies?

Indeed, they can't take action on the registered keeper, they can't force the RK to name the driver let alone a passenger, I fail to see this getting anywhere.

That said I did once remonstrate with a passenger that had thrown a can out the window, they complained to the Police that I'd told her off and in the process admitted why I was having a go, the passenger got a Police caution for littering!

I'm sure we've seen a case here of a CCTV penalty for littering from a vehicle - cigarette butt.

Without looking anything up, yes they have the authority but that's just it, they have, not you.

DVLA appear correct as enquiry based on third party, unauthorised evidence.

If they agreed we'd have an infinite number of parking, for example, vigilantes sending their holiday
snaps in to EAs.

So, basic agreement with FU2 but without a sarcastic 'hobby' comment and with some respect for your
effort, albeit misplaced, to combat such anti-social behaviour.

I actually think you are right to take up the fight and I agree that it is a joke that PPC's seem to get whatever they want.

As for those who think you should get a hobby rather than look after your local community, perhaps they should grow a pair. Although, you might find it a hassle, I welcome your public spirit.

The issue is that there is no route to any legal action unless the registered keeper and driver cooperate, probably unlikely I'd say.

The fact its likely to be the council who made a hash of the request has nothing to do with data going to PPC's or not surely?

Try a Dashcam,they can be alot more exciting and self for-filling...Apparently. That is until your turn comes..........

It is good though that this bottle never found its way into a turtle.

Unauthorised evidence? There's no bar on the LA requesting details on the basis of evidence gathered by anyone. It's different for the DPE regime because, IIRC, that requires the evidence to be from a CEO or approved device under the regulations.

I suspect you did something to cause them to throw the bottle out the window...

Do you mean evidence of any crime generally? That's scary.
Or specifically littering?

Edit.
If the latter then I note s154 of Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 but don't think there are Regs yet?

Received a reply from the council as to why the DVLA refused to supply details -

They reported back that there wasn’t enough information. The information you provided is exactly the same as the evidence I normally submit.

I have responded with more information about the legislation we are acting under and the location.

Many thanks


Make of that what you will, but I live in a tourist village, and am sick to death of knuckle-dragging tramp-stamped numpties chucking their crap around when there are plenty of bins in the car parks.

We get the lot, dirty nappies, dog poo, chip papers etc etc.

Yes. Requesting keeper data is just an investigative tool in any criminal investigation.

Makes sense. I forget Councils have powers over a lot of things; I have to forget cos I shudder at the thought.

Of course it does, they need to know the litterers details to take action, and the registered keeper doesn't have to name the driver nor does the driver have to name the passenger, so unless they cooperate to shop their passenger, no action possible.

But i guess the locals are very happy to take the same knuckle dragging tramp stamped numpties money being a tourist area?

And yet here we all are on a website where regular posts inform the registered keeper not to name the driver because that is exactly what a lot of people do.

Any other crimes that people should not be bothered about because it might be a little bit difficult?

How do you propose that the council prove the offender's identity to beyond a reasonable doubt?

I read that Rugby Council twist arms: Threatening with a 'pollution' section of the Environment Act 1995 if RKs don't cooperate.
Seems a bit extreme.
