Just don't tell them, they may never find out until it's to late

Its a case of assumed guilty before you have committed a crime. It's why police can't arrest\fingerprint\dna test you until after they have arrested you and only arrest you with some sort of proof.

That's a bone of contention for sure

Re: Dogs face DNA tests over street mess
So there is a national database of dog DNA now?

If there isn't, it makes the whole DNA test bit a bit pointless really. (I'd like to see a proper DNA register for all dogs+ insurance. micro chipping etc too) but I'd as likely walk on the moon before any politicians do anything to upset our nation of 'dog lovers'

Humans cause more issues than dogs so let's chip them and put everyone on a DNA database.

Dog lover I guess..
Last time I checked, we didn't tend to have people squatting down in the street and taking a dump in the UK ...
Lets stick to that topic rather than try to address the woes of Mankind right?

Re: Dogs face DNA tests over street mess
Lets put it this way, l have seen people urinate in the street, crap in the street. And even on a CCTV in a shopping mall.
A woman in full dress and face hidden stood up against a wall and did a crap - and police are still trying to find her.
To me you have to get a Dog Warden, yes there are a few about by council. He gets a stick and places in the crap and then takes DNA.
I am a great animal lover, and yes, we both carry bags for the mess. BUT what about owners who don't give a damn.
I would rather have another 'cash making way' of hitting people. Like chewing gum and rubbish throwing.

Didn't Paula Radcliffe do just that during the marathon not so long ago, live for our viewing pleasure to boot

Re: Dogs face DNA tests over street mess
People already get fined for littering Arthur.
Also is there anything you haven't done or seen?
Personally its a great idea and once the chipping law comes in to effect then collecting DNA at the same time wouldn't really be much extra work.
Its not so much a cash making plan, it will save councils a lot of money in terms of cleaning the mess up and also surely it will make dog owners think twice about not cleaning up in future!

Because, of course, you get a fair clearer image of any area you might have cut shaving by squatting down by the roadside than you might by looking in the rear-view or wing mirrors, and the wing mirrors are obviously not visible from the driver's seat.

Re: Dogs face DNA tests over street mess
