Should DMV require every art car to carry a MOOP bag? Because what I saw Thursday night was embarrassing.

Thursday night I was walking across playa from Opulent Temple toward Robot Heart/the Cathedral, picking up MOOP as I went.

By the time I crossed paths with one of the clearly very expensive art cars, both of my hands were literally full of other people’s trash.

The car was full of passengers. I asked the driver if they had a MOOP bag I could throw it into.
“No.”
I asked the people onboard.
No one had one.
And then this art car— clearly designed just to accommodate their own camp and passengers, hundreds of thousands of dollars of infrastructure, lights, sound, crew, fuel, etc.—just drove away while I continued walking around with two hands full of MOOP.

I genuinely wish I had taken a picture of the vehicle, because the whole interaction felt like a perfect encapsulation of something that bothered me about this Burn: people enjoying an extraordinarily resource-intensive version of Burning Man while seemingly having no interest in even the most basic responsibility of taking care of the place.

If you have the resources and privilege to operate one of the largest vehicles in Black Rock City, how do you not have a fucking trash bag?

Leave No Trace isn’t supposed to mean, “Someone else will pick it up.” And honestly, I saw an incredible amount of MOOP this year. Cups, cans, food packaging, costume pieces, random trash. I found myself constantly picking things up.
So I’m curious about two things:
What accountability actually exists when an art car/camp repeatedly disregards the Principles?
Why doesn’t DMV require every licensed Mutant Vehicle to carry a clearly accessible MOOP bag/container as part of inspection?
It would cost essentially nothing, take up almost no space, and every large vehicle roaming playa would become another place where people could remove MOOP rather than drive past it.
