What if she used the drain as homeless people do? No problem?

I wonder if the constables are equally passionate about arresting Asian men who open urinate.

That’s what I was thinking. There is an oppressive demand to adhere to manners that undergirds some of Britain’s turn to authoritarianism. Demolition Man and Brazil come to mind.

It looks like the non-migrant Brits are trying to come up with a way to earn some spending money now that the miggies are running the government and getting all the revenue.

London is a very, very old city. Some street drains lead to watercourses that go to the countryside. Section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 makes it an offence to deposit or dispose of waste in a way likely to pollute land or water. This can include pouring liquids into street drains that lead to watercourses.
The fine (£150) is the standard fixed penalty in that borough (with the possibility to reduce if paid quickly) for such an infringement
She’s a Turkish citizen and probably didn’t know the rules.
The fact the fine was withdrawn suggests even the authorities felt it may not have been the best use of enforcement resources.

Yesilyurt is a Turkish name. She should have told the cops that pouring coffee down a drain was part of an intricate Islamic ritual.
The cops would have immediately apologized and backed off.

This begs the question. Is dumping out a liquid beverage onto the street considered littering?
If so, guilty because I've never thought twice about it.

Me either, my rule of thumb has always been if it’s organic (apple cores, banana peels etc) and will break down, I don’t consider it littering.
And coffee certainly falls into that category IMO.
