Background Story:
A jogger runs along a beach, past a sign that says, “Fine $100 For Littering.” A few steps past the sign, the jogger stops for a short while to eat a banana. He throws the banana peel on the ground and then continues to run. A police officer sees the banana peel fall to the ground. She remembers that her supervisor did not issue a littering ticket to a person who poured coffee on the ground. However, the supervisor did issue a ticket to another person who threw a candy wrapper on the ground.
Question:
Should the police officer give a ticket to the jogger? Explain your answer.
