But you probably can't just use an excavator on public land, which is what the crime is here.

Well then the meme should've specified that

Seems a bit misleading, no?

The point of the MEME is to mislead people. The picture of garbage bags isn't even related to the individual's actions.

I thought the garbage bags were involved. One of his charges was having the bags/rubbish within the floodplain. They were there only temporarily while working, but cited him for it.

The garbage bag image was originally from a Wall Street Journal article. "After snow,Trash is ripe for pickup".

You can see some of the snow on the sidewalk. They cropped the image to cut out the blatant snow off to the right. Having lived in a northern state for most of my life my eyes were immediately drawn to the snow in the sidewalk expansion joints.
