Yes. They can identify who's dog is responsible for leaving s**t behind, if they wish.

My cat purring next to me, blissfully unaware that she's going to the vet tomorrow to get her last tooth removed

Now she's all loopy from the anesthetic and it's pretty funny to watch. The thing about Kiwi is she's not easy to get in the carrier, but once she's back home she forgives you almost immediately.

Well, a chap might be forgiven for thinking that some British city councils think they're God. As well as DNA testing dog muck, one of them put up "bin cams" to catch people who weren't sticking to the recycling rules. It was a long time ago and it didn't catch on:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... -recycling

Meanwhile in rural Arkansas, I've never known anybody to recycle anything. Where I live there's just a communal skip. The landlord has a rule limiting each household to one bag of trash per week, but they rather stupidly forgot to specify the size of the bag. And some tenants put unwanted furniture in the skip. The rule is unenforcible and it shows.

And imagine my surprise on coming back to the UK after several months in the US to find a personally-addressed council letter for me, insinuating I'd broken the recycling rules and reminding me of heavy penalties for any future misdemeanours. There were also several letters from the BBC threatening to drag me through the courts for watching live television while I wasn't there. It's amazing the crimes you can commit in a place where you don't exist.

So, what I have in mind is combine this:

and this:

The first one is an RS200 modified as an IMSA GTO car. The second is the RS200 Evolution Group S. Basically what I intend is on combining the slick top from the Group S car with the widened body from the GTO car.

I've had a Hot Wheels RS200 disassembled and sitting on my shelf for ages, but now I know how to proceed with it. :mrgreen:

Personally, I view people who just leave dogshit laying around as a threat to the environment, as well as public health. Holding them accountable is the only way to disincentivize dog owners externalizing the cost of dealing with their dog's s**t.

It sounds like your landleech needs a camera to catch the people who are breaking the rules, and the ability to follow through with punishments for folks who insist on doing so. I guess that makes me pro-bin cam.

I've heard the UK takes TV taxes pretty seriously, but I guess that's why the BBC is so much better funded than CBC or PBS.

I personally like the idea of a tv tax. Here there is a few channels on TV that is funded with taxpayer money. If a tax was introduced that allowed you to watch tv for a bit of money it stops those who don't watch tv for being liable to subsidise the network.
