That dog may cost you $100,000 a day
California’s latest experiment in faith-based policymaking is being unleashed today on the San Diego public, as regional water-quality officials begin hearings on new regulations that seem crafted to turn most owners of a car, house or dog into criminals within a decade or so. We wish we were exaggerating.

Under the draft rules, ordinary homeowners may face six years in prison and fines of $100,000 a day if they are deemed serial offenders of such new crimes as allowing sprinklers to hit the pavement, washing a car in the driveway, or, conceivably, failing to pick up dog poop promptly from their own backyards, let alone the sidewalk.

Cities throughout San Diego, south Orange and southwest Riverside counties must enforce the law, and set up 24-hour hot lines for people to report violations by their neighbors.

The new regulations even apply to firefighters, who would be forced to somehow capture and scrub the water running down the street from fire hoses and burning buildings, although the bureaucrats promise wiggle room for “emergency situations.” We’re at a loss to imagine the fire that doesn’t present an emergency situation, but we’re sure California’s army of environmental lawyers will be glad to help cities figure that out in court.​
CA's not only headed for a cliff, they're running full speed.

Unchecked liberalism. This is what it does, folks.

damn.

Its' becoming more like Switzerland or Sweden everyday.

Gosh..to bad it can't be a conservative utopia like Somalia..no gubmint there...guns flow like water. Boy howdy!

Inner city Chicago. Did they vote republican?
 
I would put my house on the market immediately if they passed such a law where I live.

These people are lunatics.

These people are REPUBLCANS!

Just because they are republicans doesn't mean they aren't part of the carnival out there. It's a stupid plan regardless of who is pushing it.

The OP and everyone else assumed it was a liberal city since they are imposing ridiculous government restrictions on the citizens, when in actuality it is a conservative/republican city.
