San Francisco is establishing a "poop patrol" in order to combat the rising tide of human feces flooding its streets, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The San Francisco Chronicle also reported that members of the patrol will make an annual base salary of $71,760 — $184,678 if you include mandated benefits.

Go figure!   :rolleyes:

That's low income in that area, certainly can't buy a flat or support kids on that.
 
I can't believe even a person who is in a vehicle that doesn't run could stand to have 20 lbs. Of excrement build up in one large bag. It seems more like a person or persons removed it from a house or some dwelling. Just think about how large that bag would have to be. And now picture it inside a vehicle, And you have to sleep in it?. Sorry but I don't think even the worst vehical dweller could stoop that low.

As awful as this is....assuming that bag weighs out the same as water. That's less than 3 gallons of waste......I would assume solids + liquids. Would equal more than 8lb/gallon of water

Poop weighs a bit less than water. That's why it floats. :)
 
I got in big trouble one time in a campground because I went around with my pooper scooper picking up all the dog sh*t that OTHER PEOPLE left lying around! I had kind of a big bag of it and I had just had surgery and wasn't feeling too good after that adventure, so I stuck the bag on the ground behind the front wheel of my camper while I went inside to take a snooze and recharge before hauling the awful bag to the dumpster. Came out to find that a neighbor, who thought the contents of the bag were **mine**, had stuffed the bag inside my car, in the driver's seat! He said he was a retired cop and gave me all kinds of trouble, refused to let me explain that I had just cleaned up the place. So I wonder if maybe the 20 lb bag of human waste might also be someone's cleanup effort.....

Guy sounds like a real punk. Funny how so much comes down to the quality of the person rather than the "side" they choose.
 
Very true, Ding. Then the guy went to the cg owner and told her I didn't pick up after my dog! She refused to believe me when I told her I was actually picking up after everybody else's dogs. I think he's unhinged, actually. Oh well.

He sounds unhinged. OMgosh, what a A-hole truly. And those are the types out there that drive us batty and those are the types that make me and hubby want to boondock away from these fools.
 
No good deed goes unpunished.

But the evil whackos, they get away with murder all the time.

Way the world is. . .

As you're not a very squeamish person, Moxie, you should have opened up the bag while the ahole cop was jelling at you, and thrown a bit of dog poop in his face. Even a lamebrain can tell dog from human when he's forced to eat it. Or to be nice, just dumped the bag on his shoe, and said "Oops, slippery stuff".

Bahahaha! Q, you crack me up. Excellent ideas! In reality (hate to bring that up), I had just had some bone fragments removed from my wrist and was sick from the anesthesia. Operating my pooper scooper one-handed had completely worn me out, and this idiot's antics hit me like something from outer space! I just stood there staring at him, and holding the Biggess Doggess back with my good hand (70 lb protection trained Malinois), watching his mouth open and close. It was like Rick and Morty gone awry. Then the Vietnamese campground owner comes tottering along on too-small shoes and her mouth also opens and closes, but by this time I am thoroughly medicated and trying not to bust out larfing. I am a fan of surrealism, but when it invades one's postoperative stupor it can be a bit much.

My guess would be that it is a community group that was fed up with the poop being left in front of their homes and decided to collect and 'return' it.

I agree. Things left on the doorstep are more of a public comment than a disposal method.

I once received a load of horse excrement on my doorstep (when I had a house) due to an unpopular comment I made.   ~crofter
 
Ahh, that manure would have gone into my flower beds and spread around to get the good from it :)
I can handle manure, I sure can't handle 'people poop' at all.

You seem to get yourself into trouble at the worst possible times. I guess after being a bully cop for years, he just went into automatic control. All in all, you can't talk to people who are in auto-mouth mode, so the only course is to be quiet and "show" them. You don't how many times I've wished I had a 3rd arm.
 
I didn’t read all 4 pages of comments so if this has been mentioned I’m sorry . But what ever happened to the good old days, Leaving poop in a brown paper bag and lighting it a fire ??

It's San Fransisco. That says it all.

The article just below that was needle cleanup. I thought, "Cool. Finally a feel good story looking for volunteers to clean up pine needles at a local park. I've never seen an article like that from that cesspool of a city." You know what it was? Syringes. Needles from drug use. I didn't read that article, but I hope they don't blame people like us for that one, too.


To say "It's San Francisco. That says it all." is disrespectful in so many ways it is not funny. Homeless encampments all over California do not have adequate toiletry facilities. Mainly as a result of the drug addicted and the liability of allowing anyone to use the bathroom in a business, most businesses in many parts of any major city are off limits even to patrons of that business. Which leaves tourists, shoppers and the disenfranchised alike left wanting. Been to Oakland lately? Berkeley? Los Angeles? Mountain View? I could name a hundred other cities with a large homeless and four wheel residents who, more often than not have no place to relieve themselves.

They give them free needles so aids and other deseases don’t get spread and then they want you to go pick them up too . ?

You have no idea how much self control I exercised to keep from lighting one up in front of that cop's RV........
