Dear Editor, I need to respond to the letter by Jill Hinckley complaining about litter alongside the roads. Yes, there is a law against littering. It is a class C misdemeanor. Unfortunately, the officer has to have evidence of who committed this offense before the offender can be prosecuted and convicted. If a police officer sees the offense being committed, the officer will often issue the offender a ticket and require the offender to clean up the mess the offender made.
