He should have used the bag on the mower or used the mower so it blew the clippings onto the grass instead of into the street. That's way smarter and easier than sweeping the street

Maybe use a mulching mower?

That little patch is not the only place in the US where local ordinances forbid people to put landscaping shit into the street.

Aye... but there is a difference between 'landscaping debris' getting accidentally blown into the street, and subsequently cleaned up after the job is complete... and purposefully piling large amounts of biological refuse in the street. The point of posting this is the arbitrary and vengeful decision of the cop to allow the other guy to clean it up in order to not get charged... and deciding to 'teach this guy a lesson' for daring to have an attitude towards another person.

This was a completely wrong way to use his 'discretionary' powers in determining who deserves a fine and who doesn't.
