A man in Marlow, England, has been fined and had his license suspended by the police for driving with a “dangerous” amount of fast-food wrappers and sundry trash in his car.

The man was pulled over — and eventually arrested — by the Thames Valley Roads Policing Unit for reasons that were not shared by authorities, but quickly learned there was a much more alarming issue at hand. (Thames Valley Police Dept.)

One Twitter user, who shared a zoomed-in section of the police image, pointed out an apparent tree branch among the pile: “I’m here to find out why the twig was there in the first place.”
Others are defending the driver — in a way.
“But not littering, so there is a silver lining to this messy cloud @KeepBritainTidy,” says @PS_Schofield.
Given the evidence, there’s no telling what lurks in that trunk.
