We got some news. The sentence has been modified to only be of the lenght of the time he alredy served. So, it's done for him.

The prosecutor also explains why they did that. Before, they were fining the corporations, as people here suggested, but corporations just paid the fines and continued to collect garbage at 5AM. So, it was a stunt to force garbage collectors to respect schedule.

Couldn't they just jack up the fine? Worst case scenario is the WM company keeps paying the fine, then the city gets more money and you jack up the fine again until they stop.

Okay, before I read the article I'm going to assume this was in Forsyth County.

North Fulton.  Close enough.  The vicious nature of the Southern richneck knows no bounds. 

This is a miscarriage of justice for sure, but Sandy Springs is not a redneck place at all. It's country club Republicans combined with a corridor of poors of various ethnicities.

Did you read what I wrote? 

Yes.   Then what, pray tell, is a "richneck" if not a rich redneck?

[Ban my account ffs!]

A redneck is really the poor version of a richneck...not the other way around.  Then there are hillbillies, something else entirely.

Why do you people love to destroy a thread, where we can all agree on the awfulness of awful people (with the exception of a few awful posters)?

A richneck has money.  This makes them very different than a redneck.  Both of these types attack everyone who is different, so that means the richneck is going to be vicious to the poor. 

Snowguy has it right.
