Default Re: Why can smokers throw cigarette butts out the window

Try to figure this out:

In California we have the "BUZZO LAW." If you throw a lit cig out of your car = $250 fine.

If you litter, $1,000 fine.

My buddy just got pulled over for this last Tuesday. The cop told him the whole thing (since he and my buddy are ex-jarheads). Yes, if the cig was NOT lit, it would have been a $1k fine. Instead, my buddy got a $250 ticket.

Apparently, a few years' back, some guy TRIED to throw a lit cigarette butt out his window, but it went into the back seat of his car. In the back was his kid, nicknamed "Buzzo." The kid got burned up pretty bad.
