CCTV and litter louts

ickledot realises the use of CCTV cameras is in itself a controversial issue. Leaving that aside for a mo, it was interesting to note that in Friday's reports about them being used to spot litter louts and fly tippers, the emphasis was on punishment.
If a camera should capture a community minded citizen picking up a piece of litter, surely some kind of reward would be in order? A minor reduction in Council Tax? Gift vouchers? A roll of honour in the local paper?
ickledot thinks incentive works better than punishment every time!
