I'm imagining a future where you can inject drugs using govt provided syringes while defecating in the street no problem, but if you drop a cigarette butt we'll track you down and arrest you for littering.

Government-run programs almost always take the form of needle exchanges. By requiring their return, they actually prevent littering.
Future? This is current SF! :)
