You Vote:
Do you think law enforcement should use DNA from litter to identify litter bugs?
*
Indicates required field
DNA samples are used to track down criminal suspects in hard core police cases. Would you agree to having the same technology used to identify and charge people who litter cigarettes, for example?
*
Yes. Definitely.
Yes, if feasible.
It depends.
No.
A jurisdiction in Spain requires dog owners to submit their dog's DNA veterinary test results in order to obtain the required pet license. Poop found uncleaned is DNA-tested and traced back to the animal's owner, who is fined. Would you support dog DNA testing for tracing people who don't clean up their pooch's poop?
*
Yes
No
Maybe

You Vote:
Should people who litter receive fines and penalties?
*
Indicates required field
Levels of enforcement of littering laws vary depending on the jurisdiction. Some places have enforcement squads. Others use cameras. Still others show very little evidence of enforcement. Do you think people who litter should receive fines and penalties?
*
Yes, definitely.
That depends.
No, but educate them.
No. Littering is a trivial matter.

You Vote:
Should smokers be required by law to carry and use personal, portable ashtrays?

In Australia, the law dictates that dog walkers must have a dog waste bag on their person and use it to take care of any messes. Following suit, should smokers be made to carry their own pocket ash receptacle?

Yes
No
