    Garbage Man Sentenced To 30 DAYS IN JAIL For Picking Up Trash Too Early

    the level of stupidity is reaching epidemic levels

    A sanitation worker in an Atlanta suburb has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for working too early.
    Kevin McGill had been working for only a few months for a company contracted to do sanitation work in Sandy Springs when he was cited for picking up trash just after 5 a.m. one morning, according to WSB-TV.
    That violated a city ordinance which limits trash pickup to between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The statute is in place because residents have complained that early pick-up disrupts their sleep.
    When McGill showed up to court to answer the citation, Sandy Springs prosecutor Bill Riley sought the maximum punishment against him — 30 days in jail.
    And in a trashy move, a judge granted Riley the request.
    “Fines don’t seem to work,” Riley told WSB. “The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail.”
    Riley, who jailed another sanitation worker for the same infraction last year, said that residents swamp 911 with calls when trash pick-up occurs too early in the morning.
    “The solicitor said it’s automatic jail time,” McGill told WSB. “He didn’t want to hear nothing I had to say. I said it’s my first time.”
    “I was stunned. I didn’t know what to think. I was shocked,” he added.
    McGill, a family man, did not have an attorney during his sentencing. He pleaded no contest and took the punishment, agreeing to serve his 30 days spread out on the weekends. He began serving the sentence last weekend and will do so for 14 more.
    “I just want this to be over with,” McGill told WSB. “I’m away from my family, my wife, and she’s got to take care of the two little boys and I have four dogs.”
    McGill has an attorney now, and she believes the sentence is too harsh.
    “Give him a warning,” the lawyer, Kimberly Bandoh, told WSB. “I mean he’s the employee. He’s not the employer. Sentencing him to jail is doing what?”
    But Riley appears to be unmoved, saying that McGill, and not his employer, is responsible for operating his own garbage truck.
    “The company doesn’t start that truck up,” Riley told WSB. “The company doesn’t drive that truck down the street.”

    "said that residents swamp 911 with calls when trash pick-up occurs too early in the morning."

    A fine use of the 9-11 system.

    from what I read, this wasn't just some guy and his crew rolling down the street picking up trash and tossing it in the back. This guy was slamming big heavy dumpsters around at 5 in the morning. These dumpsters were probably located behind some apartment complexes. While I wouldn't call 911 on this, I can definitely see how this would piss people off, especially at 5 a.m.

    My garbage man comes really early and no one complains, Hell, I usually sleep right through his pass down my street, but they also aren't shaking the ground and making a ton of noise because they are not slamming big dumpsters around.

    But no way should this guy have gotten jail time, especially if this was his first offense.

    Sometimes I wish they would lock up my garbage man. The dude leaves half the trash in the street.

    He got off easy with 30 days in jail. If he picked up trash at 5am in my town, he would be shot dead.

    Yes. The person who did it confirmed it was fake a couple years ago.

    If this was real, it would have been all over the news.

    probably more than once by now


    The guy shines his betpoint balance every fkn day. Instead of donating some of it for good cause or helping other posters out, he just fkn stares at this shit old day long and calls others, who do the complete opposite, the broke dicks.

    There is nothing new to see here TripleD - you guys were 100% right about this clown.

    I mean even losing a job over this probably would have been a lot better than a month in jail. His record is all messed up now. Even a first time DUI offenders don't get that much time...it's crazy.

    I don't think Donte Stallworth got that much time(I think it was under a month) and he killed a guy.

    If that guy went to jail, they should put every single person who dialed 911 because of such a laughable thing behind bars for 2 days as well. Maybe that will teach them to dial 911 when there is actually an emergency and not to misuse it for shit like this.

    Disturbing the peace & waking up the whole neighborhood at 5am is hardly laughable. It would be taken serious by most atheists, except for you.

    So you are saying THAT is a reason to call 911? lmao....
    Would I be pissed? Yeah. Would I dial 911? No. That isn't what 911 is for.
    But it seems like such an internet-warrior-wannabe-tough-guy like you would cry on 911. And yep, that is laughable.
    And atheists have what to do with this topic exactly? Yeah right, nothing. Carry on.

    It's also hardly worthy of a 911 call.

    What if you were jerking it to the bible and started to have chest pains? You're trying to dial 9-1-1 (since you prayed for 10 minutes and no ambulance came) and couldn't get through because people were keeping the line busy (instead of calling the non emergency number that every G-D community has for things like noise complaints)

    My last place the garbage man came by 7:01 - we were first on the stop - christ the agony if you forgot to put it out the night before and you hear that big ass truck rumbling down starting to hit your street. About pulled a groin a few times trying to get out of bed and get the trash out in time. I don't care about being woken up I would be more pissed that I was supposed to have until 7am and that asshole rolled through at 5am.

    Reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Homer is carrying his garbage can chasing the garbage truck down the street after it passed his house, screaming and talking shit to the garbage men, and then the truck stops and backs up to him. The next scene he is walking back into his kitchen wearing the garbage.
