Yorktown officials are considering installing surveillance cameras to combat the city's litter problem.
The cameras would be placed in problem areas, and would take snapshots of a litterbug's license plate. The registered owner of the car would then be mailed a hefty fine.
Town Supervisor Michael Grace believes that if passed, the law would likely be the first of its kind in Westchester.
"We're just trying to be very creative and I think it actually will work," he says.
Officials say the cameras were inspired by red light cameras.
