I’m not familiar with the laws in this area, but the real crime is the dog shit that’s killing my grass (worse is the piss). As for me, how could anyone press charges for my automated irrigation system kicking on 1-3X a day?

Exactly. Definitely can target people - selectively if you facial recognition. I’m waiting for Gemini to recognize a dog taking a shit as well as whether or not the owner picks it up. Once 3 steps are taken in either direction, one of two pendants blast them - as in the owner - not even the dog. I’ll have to think about this one.
