A woman who had been given a parking ticket was handed an extra fine for littering after she threw it on to the pavement.
Cornwall Council said the woman had a parking charge notice stuck to her car after she had been unloading from the vehicle in a no loading zone in Falmouth.
A camera worn by a civil enforcement officer recorded the woman removing the notice, throwing it to the floor and verbally abusing him before he issued her a £250 fine for littering.
This is one of three cases in which people have been fined after being recorded littering in a bid to reduce the problem, the council said.
Two others were given £250 fixed penalty notices for littering after they were caught on CCTV.
One was a man who threw an egg custard carton from his vehicle on a country lane in the St Austell area and the other was a woman caught dropping a drinks bottle as she climbed in to a car in Falmouth.
In both cases the footage was shared with the council, which made further inquires and identified the individuals.
All three people caught littering paid £150 due to the early repayment option, the council said.
County councillor Thalia Marrington, portfolio holder for community safety and public health, said: “As well as public CCTV cameras, more and more people now have doorbell and home security cameras that capture this type of offence.
“I urge anyone with such footage to report it to us so we can investigate.”
