German MP wants DNA testing on dog poo: "A German lawmaker proposed on Monday a novel and high-tech way of dealing with the menace of dog poo on the streets: DNA testing to identify the canine culprit and fine its owner.
Peter Stein, a conservative politician in eastern Germany, told AFP that under his proposal, officials would test the excrement and then match it up to the offending dog using a DNA database of all pooches."

I expect this technology to show up in the nation's HOAs as soon as it gets cheap enough. Imagine the potential for imposing fines.

As someone who is heartily sick of dog poop in my lawn, I would probably not object to fines for this. :)
