    This is so stupid. If you litter in Bikini Bottom, you go to jail for years. In Driven to Tears, Spongebob got like a year in prison just for ripping up Pat's lisense and throwing it out the window. His cousin Blackjack got 5 years for littering, and let's not forget The Tattletale Strangler who's been arrested numorous times for littering. I understand the Don't litter the enviornment, but how theheck can you get up to 5 years in jail just for freakin littering?!

    mostly because litter under water spreads all over the sea/ocean.

    Because its a kids show and its supposed to be funny. The cop going after sb when he was speeding for littering is supposed to be funny. its a joke.

    Even if it wasn't for comedy, it should help the viewers learn that littering comes with serious consequences. People get fined for littering in real life, so having that on a popular show might help them change their ways.

    Wow, I have the same problem with this! And you know what really ticked me off! Comedy or not, Squidward should not have been thrown in jail for ten freakin' years just because he "ran" a stoplight and stole a wallet in "Good Ole' What's His Name".

    So if someone steals your stuff, you expect the person to just walk off scot-free without getting any punishment? Even if it is 10 years?

    Well, at first, this annoyed me, but since some people cleared it out and it's there to be funny, I don't mind anymore. But it's in S4, so of course, I don't find it funny. But thanks for clearing it up anyway.

    I totally agree with you. If this happened in Seasons 1-3, the writers would have found a much funnier way of showing this. But in Season Four, it only made me feel really sorry for Squidward.
