IS IT not time for our political leaders, to make it compulsory for all dogs to wear a lead in public places at all times?

I have on several occasions been out walking without dog and caught sight of a dog leaving a pile of poo and no sign of the owner to pick it up.

How can they know what the dog is doing or getting up to - it makes cleaning up rather difficult, unless on a lead and then the owner will be in charge of the situation.

I realise this would be difficult to police but so are a lot of other laws, I think the vast majority of owners would comply.
