Waste not, want not

It seems as if someone's finally getting serious about holding people accountable for littering, which, by the way, is one of my pet peeves. The National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) has started a new programme aimed at reducing the number of litterbugs and increasing public awareness on the topic. I think it's good idea and am curious to know how they plan to scale the program and how they track the people who've been warned instead of ticketed.
I'm a bit concerned about this aspect of the program - if someone doesn't have an ID or the warnings aren't tracked then how will the officers ensure compliance? Come to think of it, how do they ticket people without ID?

One can only hope that all these challenges were resolved before the programme was rolled out and that the program will be a success.
