The commuter town of Montereau-Fault-Yonne southeast of Paris said Monday that municipal police would begin using a decade-old network of CCTV cameras to track down dog owners who don’t pick up their pets’ droppings. ‘This will allow us to identify and seek out pet owners with no sense of civic duty and fine them’ 35 euros ($47), town mayor Yves Jego told AFP. He said using the cameras against irresponsible dog owners was no different from filming traffic offenders.”
