DNA to enforce the rules

I find the science of DNA to be one of the most facinating I have every read about. Because we are such complex creatures, to have the ability to break down to one single hair follicle or skin scaping, those things which make us so individual is amazing.
Now the latest, which I think will become a matter of practice, is testing dog poop for DNA.
An apartment complex is so fed up with residents not cleaning up after their dogs, they are going to send it for DNA testing.
Apparently you must submit a DNA sample of your dog when you move in the complex. If the owners who shirk the responsibility of picking up after your pet, the apartment complex will know which dog it is. They can then be fined.
I love this idea of holding those responsible who are responsible and not punishing responsible dog owners who live in the complex. Check out the story here.
