Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'street' (public road) specifies the location and 'shitter' denotes a person who defecates, so together they literally describe someone who defecates in public. This straightforward noun+noun compound is predictable from its parts, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand the expression.
Etymology
Street shitter comes from the simple picture of someone who 'poops' on the street, where street means the public road and shitter is a rude word for a person who poops. That's why people use street shitter as a rude 'insult' for someone who dirties public places or behaves very badly in public.
