Some municipalities actually started DNA-testing dog shit, AFAIK it deals with the issue of dog owners leaving dog shit in the street quite well. Of course, that method won't do anything when the culprit is someone homeless or a stray.

I’m confused. What are they gonna do, securing search warrants for Larry the Labradoodle and no-knock the front door off the hinges and buccal swab the cocksucker there and then?

Otherwise, the only way this makes sense if every dog is registered and must provide a sample preemptively. Maybe I’m missing something.

That's exactly what's happening. I have a friend whose apartment complex has that as a requirement for dog owners to move in. If you leave shit in the grass, they test it, fine you and make you pay for the lab needed to prove it was you. It works pretty well, as she and I went outside one night in the dark with flashlights because I forgot a poop bag and couldn't find it when I came back with the bag to make sure she wouldn't catch the fine.

Yes, registering every dog's DNA is exactly how they're doing it - and if they find a match, they'll send a fine. It's quite a bit of effort, which is probably why this isn't more widespread. Sidewalks full of dogshit fucking suck, though, and dogs already have to be registered for tax purposes so it's not like this is a completely new level of bureaucracy, either.

god I wish I lived somewhere civilized. The general level of societal function this implies sounds amazing.

Do you have literally anything to lend credence to this claim?

Edit: Welp, they brought the receipts.
