Section 53.49 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code is a classic of lawyerly syntax and needless verbosity.It appears on a sign outside my local public library branch and reads as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for the owner or person having custody of any dog to fail to immediately remove and dispose of, in a sanitary manner, by replacing in a closed or sealed container and depositing in a trash receptacle, any feces deposited by such dog upon public or private property, without the consent of the public or private owner or person in lawful possession of the property, other than property owned or controlled by the owner or person having custody of such dog.
