      Can’t contaminate the motor oil, soot, rubber, broken glass, microplastics, litter, and accidentally-spilled coffee with purposely-spilled coffee! I hope the enforcement officers didn’t damage their pearls, or let them slip into the drain, from all that clutching.

      More seriously, this smacks of citation quotas to me.
