The opening paragraph of this New York Times article is troubling:
It was just after dawn when Theo Otibu began prowling Ditmas Park in Brooklyn in his unmarked Sanitation Department car. He scanned the sidewalk for an elusive prey, one known only by the droppings of its best friend: the dog owner who does not scoop.
The DCS does not support pollution. Pick up after your dog. But stakeouts? Is there just extra budget in the Sanitation Department?
The Times adds:
Dressed in plain clothes and driving white hybrid Toyotas, Mr. Otibu and the 14 other agents in the Sanitation Department’s Canine Task Force fan out across the five boroughs each day to enforce the city’s “pooper scooper” law, which went into effect 30 years ago and became the model for other large cities.
The DCS recommends there are at least 13 Toyota's that could be sold at auction, and at least 13 agents that could be reassigned.
