A Technological Answer to a Municipal Problem: Dog Poop DNA Scanning

There are millions of pet dogs in America, and those millions leave millions of calling cards on lawns, sidewalks, and curbsides each day.  While dog owners should clean up after their pets, dog waste is just another excuse for government to complain, cajole, and hector residents to do what they should. 
 
Since there are few stupid ideas that some wasteful official won’t consider, how about blowing investing city tax revenue on a technological spending program investment in our community to detect and punish those who won’t clean up after their dogs?
 
Modern civilization now has the technology to match the DNA from dog waste with a recorded DNA swab sample of canine saliva.  Forget about encouraging neighborhood services officers and busybody neighbors to spy on their fellow residents – it would all be a matter of a DNA match, if only someone would only boldly commit our community along this path.
 
Below appears an inspiring video that tells the fantastic tale, and points us toward a brave, new era of poop-free living.
 
Whitewater bureaucrats – can’t you see it?  Here’s our dream town, just a swab sample away. 
 
Besides, if it will work with dogs, then it will work with … Oh, I’ll let you offer that ordinance…
