Footage shows people dumping large amounts of paper into the water at New York City’s Central Park, prompting online demands for arrests, heavy fines up to $5,000, and deportation assuming they are immigrants. State law bans littering in parks with penalties including $500 fines plus $750 daily civil charges, while many noted plentiful receptacles and contrasted the act with polluted sites like India’s Ganges. Officials urge reporting via 311 and sticking to ‘carry in, carry out’ rules to keep public spaces clean, regardless of anyone’s background.
