object of refuse is discovered on another's property without his permission, on
any public highway, street, or road, upon public parks or recreation areas, or
upon any other public property except that property designated for that use,
bearing a person's name, it shall be prima facie evidence of guilt of littering
of the person whose name appears on the object thrown, dumped, deposited, or
caused to be thrown, dumped, or deposited there.[2]
