Default EPA dob in a litterer.

So the EPA have begun to enforce its new policy with regards to dobbing in litterers in cars from the 1st of February this year.
Today my Mother in-law received a warning letter claiming she was dobbed in for throwing a cigarette but out of her car window at 3:57pm on 2/2/17 on the road which runs past our kids school.
Apparently the first letter is a warning however if the vehicle is reported again it is a $210 fine plus a further $60 for victims of crime.

Here's the thing though, my Mother in-law has never smoked a cigarette in her life and has doctors who will support it as she suffers from severe asthma. Her husband has not smoked in 20yrs and when he did it was tobacco from a pipe. My Wife doesn't smoke, in fact, no one on our entire family smokes and to top it all off, the vehicle was nowhere near where it was reported as being and could be confirmed by bank transactions as she was shopping with my wife from 3.50pm when they dropped my Daughter off at the doctors until 5pm when they picked my Daughter up from the doctors.
To get from the Doctors to the shopping centre is in the opposite direction to the kids school so there is no way possible she would have gone via the school as it wouldn't make any sense to do so

This is bloody ridiculous!!
