How are they going to implement a 50 quid instant fine? Most people, especially if they're out taking their dog for a crap, don't carry that much money with them.
There certainly should be a zero tolerence approach; instant fines are no good because a) it's impossible to implement and b) it reduces the brevity of the offence. The offence of letting your dog crap in the street should be treated as no less than a criminal offence & those found in the process of committing the crime should be arrested, cautioned and removed to the police station and then given the option of paying the full £1000pds by arrangement or going before the courts...a guilty verdict would result in a five thousand quid fine and/or a minimum period of imprisonment.
Only such a policy will give us the clean streets we deserve. Don't let the animal lovers put you off.
