I understand why it might be harmful (or at least annoying) to see people spreading rumors about who isn't cleaning up after their dog, but I'm curious how you might better handle the problem of people in the neighborhood not cleaning up after their dog.

Install a camera on the front of your house and if you see a dog shit on the street you grab the video and forward it to authorities.
I have had problems with people letting their dogs poop in my yard. What I started doing was scooping up the poop and putting it on the sidewalk. Interestingly, this seems to work.

I confronted one woman whose dog was pooping in my yard when I got home a few years ago. She came back and keyed my S2000. Of course the police did nothing.

two options:

a.) you confront them when you witness them doing it b.) nothing

The fines should be proportionate to income to pay for the program but this would work https://time.com/4552903/mislata-spain-dog-feces/
it should be for all crimes
It is in most places I think ?)

At least every country I lived so far (not that I’m a vagrant criminal lol)
