Dog Defecation Ticket Costs More Than Most San Francisco Parking Tickets

Could be large dog poop or homeless person feces - Near 17th & Eureka
On a different note, San Francisco has its own set of problems related to the homeless and their dogs. This was highlighted in today's San Francisco Examiner story, Dogs becoming concern on Haight.

What caught my eye was a listing of the amount of fines when dog laws are violated, resulting in police handing out a ticket. The fine for dog defecation is $319.

I'm glad to see such a hefty fine.  And the truth is, it really is hefty when you compare it to most of the parking ticket fines that are given out in San Francisco, San Francisco CA, Transportation Code - Article 300 Fines and Fees.

  1. Its so expensive that a police officer will not want to hand one out, that's the likely problem. Same with parking in a disabled space, a very expensive ticket that not everyone will want to hand out.
