Very interesting - especially the clarification:

EPA spokeswoman Tanya O'Shea said fined motorists needed to prove their innocence to the EPA - not the EPA to prove their guilt.



Clarification

Ms O'Shea said she had been misquoted.

She said: "Under law drivers of motor vehicles have to take responsibility for litter deposited from their vehicles, however a statutory declaration can be provided in instances when the infringement notice is incorrect."

Yeah, a bit half baked. Not sure whats going on there, maybe she just got off her high horse.
