Personally I’m all for summary execution on the spot of dog-owners who don’t clear up after their dogs and hanging their bodies from the nearer no-fouling sign as a warning.

It’s not that councils are miss-using these powers it’s that perfectly sensible actions to control anti-social cretins are being miss-classified.
