Slapping a police state on top of shortsighted policy failings doesn't make them not policy failings. Heck, it might even cost society more than scooping up the illegally dumped trash.

This isn't a problem that jurisdictions with competently run waste logistics have. When you hear about illegal dumping in the NYC area it's not literal mountains of trash like this. It's tires or hazmat or something that's genuinely expensive to get rid of for good reason.

Take a step back and think about the economics of bulk material hauling whether it's dirt or trash, the fact that the risk-reward calculation here pencils out should throw a massive "something deeper is wrong" red flag.

I propose we kick all of the people who talk like you out, and then find a solution in peace, without all the screeching and "something must be done"-isms. I bet we not only solve this in short order, but a whole other bunch of issues too.
