Today, I watered a dying communal plant. I was fined $250 for littering. FML

Were you watering it with little bits of garbage or something?

Should rainclouds be fined for littering as well?

California, Drought. Not surprised you got a fine, whether they gave you the wrong one or not.

Wasting water on a plant? Sheesh. Il never understand some of your countries laws.

Littering the vitimans/additives in water? Fight it...that's an easy win for you

Easy win. Though court costs are still expensive.

There is not enough information here for me to decide if OP deserves it or not.

Assuming you were trying to do a good deed and watered the plants with, you know, water... I would take that fine to court.

Now I'm really curious as to with what you were watering the plants... For example, peeing is also kind of watering the plants.

Yeah except public urination is clearly illegal

US laws seem really strange to me sometimes, but how on earth is that littering?

drought in California. so they can't waste water

Do you live under a rock? You're in California and there's a drought. There's water usage restrictions.

So do I #43. That being said, if he was being fined for wasting water it'd be one thing. OP was fined for littering. I think a follow-up is needed.
