One of my buildings got a trash "Violation notice warning" (a warning -- not a fine) for recycling not separated from regular trash. The new wrinkle is that the violation notice was written at 8:43 am, and was found at about 8:50 am when our people went to set the trash out at the curb. Therefore the notice was written before the trash was set out. I conclude that either: 1. The "officer" might have been making it up. 2. The "officer" might have issued the warning to the wrong building. 3. The "officer" might have gone up the alley to the rear of the property (when, legally, the trash is still ours and not the city's) and searched through bags that might or might not have been gone through by us for purposes of separation. I sent a complaint about this to the Streets Dept and will let the community know what, if anything, comes of it. True, it's not a violation for which a fine was assessed, but these "officers" can't just go around making mistakes or acting illegally.
Or, are they endowed with some kind of ability to foresee the future (in which case, their talents are surely being under-utilized by the city)?
