What!?
I'm sure there is more crime occurring in Germany than dogs pooping in the streets to be concerned about.
German MP wants DNA testing on dog poop
(No, I'm not kidding!) Breitbart.com
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.
German dog owners are fined 30-40 euros (40-50 dollars) if they fail to clean up after their pets, but very few are caught, with only four fines given out in Stein's hometown of Rostock -- human population 200,000 -- last year.
"Just saying 'it wasn't my dog' will not wash any more," Stein said.
