World's most unnecessary use of DNA-match technology

Via Jewlicious: a Tel Aviv suburb is using DNA to fight dog poop.

Dog owners are being asked to take their dogs to vets who will then submit saliva samples and create a municipal dog DNA database. Then, DNA from un-picked-up dog poop can be matched to dogs and offending owners.

I am waiting for "Law and Order: Israeli Dog Poop Squad."
