Like most NANAE ...eerrr...NANOG metaphors this one is broken.
We are not talking about stray dogs, were are talking about bad behaviour.
If I keep them from dealing that stuff in my parking lot I do several
things, in approximate priority order:
My clean customers don't have to suffer any effects of the bad guys
being on my lot.
The bad guys learn it is not a good place to try to deal.
The Law knows one place they don't have to worry about.
