Littering

An Essex man who threw chips out of his car window has received fines for littering from two councils because they fell across both districts.

FWIW, I think that being charged twice was correct; he did, after all, commit a number of offences. Admittedly it's nowhere near the same scale, but I'd expect a double murder to be two charges rather than one.
