Technically writing with chalk is still graffiti, weirdly, and depends I think on local by-laws etc. Letting your dog shit all over the place is (I think) classed under littering type offences and you can be fined.
Repeatedly doing it might be ASBO territory but you’d need evidence I guess.
Yes. You can get a fixed penalty notice of £100 or be taken to court.
Well they fine you for doing so, if repeated offences then it makes sense you could get prison time.
In the UK, using chalk on pavements and footpaths is generally permitted as it washes away with rain and is considered a temporary form of expression
This used to happen on my street growing up, always in the same place at the same time every week. My dad got progressively more furious, and one day decided to just wait outside to catch the guy.
In classic British hijinks, it turned out to be a blind guy, whose guide dog was pooping and he didn’t realise.
If you don’t pick up after your dog you should be (vaguely hinting at hypothetically legal corporal punishment)
Omg…pet hate of mine. Especially day in day out same spot 🤬🤬 one day I will catch them
Is that actually dog poo tho??
Two wrongs don’t make make a right
The phantom pooper strikes again
But police horses are free to poo wherever they want
Obviously
Not just illegal, but common decency
Nice of everyone to assume they’re from a dog 🤢
Yes it is. There’s signs around that tell you it is and the amount you’ll pay of you are witnessed allowing your dog to foul the pathways and not collecting it.
It feels illegal
I would be inclined to leave a notice where the crime is and say if you don’t pick up your poo I won’t pick up the large amount of chocolate I would just start dropping on the floor for your dog to eat…. brutal firm but I’d say fair
Pretty impressive how accurately the dog managed to poo in the middle of the chalk circles.
The poo on the pavement is. The writing isn’t.
Where I live an FOI request showed that a fine for dog fouling was issued exactly zero times in five years.
State of this country.
Seriously some are bothered by the chalk writing on the pavement???
You know what’s worse.. picking up.. bagging it up.. tying it to a tree. Actual cunty behaviour.

Dad came back inside looking very sheepish lol.
Yes – Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996
FPN £100 or up to £1000 fine.
Yes it’s illegal.
The full act is here – [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/20/enacted](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/20/enacted) – but a more easily digestible version is on Keep Britain Tidy – [https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/faqs/advice/dog-fouling-and-law](https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/faqs/advice/dog-fouling-and-law)
Given that this is fox poo, almost certainly not.
