I'm not the person you replied to, but:

If they're on my property - which they are of their dog is taking a shit on my lawn - they're not "in public."

My yard is not public.

If you walk away with a hand full of dog shit, you did not win at whatever you were doing.

Are you, too, as mad as hell, and you're not going to take this anymore?

Do you have a fence or trespassing signs?

I have a sidewalk that clearly delineates my yard and the sidewalk. Also, I have to maintain the sidewalk, so I'll record that all I want to. Don't want the possibility of being recorded on someone's security camera? Don't walk in front of people's houses. Welcome to 2024.

Laws in the US are weird

There's no law backing up what they're saying, it's just considered common courtesy to pick up your dog's poop if it poops in someone else's yard.

nah in the EU it's illegal to film sidewalks

I live in an urban area and everyone hates this one guy who just moved into the area. He never picks up the poop, neighbors are all pissed writing his landlord and everything.

There's only one tiny patch of grass on the edge of the parking lot and it's completely covered by his dogs poop. The poop doesn't go anywhere and just piles up and now the other people with dogs have no grass to use.

That appears to be a gray area depending where in the EU. If there is signage, the sidewalk is not the primary focus of the video, and the video is not shared, it sounds like it is in legal in a lot of places. Other appear to be more strict. Doorbell cameras appear to widely accepted, for example.

Likely, if I were to ever get around to getting a camera, I'd set motion zones on my property line and record when triggered.

You were talking about the US.

Something is going to push someone over the edge. That's an untenable scenario.
