attaching importance to the detection of "throwing feces from high places" cases and actively using technical means to find the perpetrators is indeed the due obligation to maintain the seriousness of the law. it is also conducive to explaining the law through cases and controlling more "impulsive hands".

recently, in the impression garden community in kunshan, someone threw feces from a high place. the property management company then issued a notice asking all residents in the apartment building to take dna tests to cooperate with the investigation. this incident has attracted attention, and screenshots of the notice have also been circulated online. according to da wan news, the property management company of the community responded that the local police station has intervened and is investigating, but the perpetrator has not yet been found.

judging from the response of the property management company, the "dna test for all units in the building" is true. although it has long been a social consensus to oppose throwing objects from high places, some netizens still think that the operation of "dna test for all units in the building" is "killing a mosquito with a cannon". in fact, it is not. from both the legal perspective and the social perception, it is necessary to use scientific and technological means to "find" the perpetrators behind the high-altitude throwing of objects and hold them accountable according to law.

as we all know, throwing objects from high places is not only an uncivilized behavior, but also an illegal act. the criminal law clearly stipulates that if objects are thrown from buildings or other high places, and the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than one year, detention or control, and shall be fined or fined alone. the civil code also clearly prohibits throwing objects from buildings.

it should be pointed out that the crime of dropping objects from high places is a crime of conduct. as long as such behavior is carried out and the circumstances are serious, it may lead to legal consequences of criminal punishment. at the same time, if the act of dropping objects from high places injures people or causes other serious property losses, it may constitute a more serious crime.attaching importance to the detection of "throwing feces from high places" cases and actively using technical means to find the perpetrators is indeed the due obligation to maintain the seriousness of the law. it is also conducive to explaining the law through cases and controlling more "impulsive hands".

in fact, this is not the first time that such practices have occurred. just recently, a case of throwing objects from a high altitude occurred in a district of guixi city, yingtan. a resident was hit by garbage thrown from an upper building while riding an electric bike on the road in the community. fortunately, he was wearing a safety helmet and was not injured. the local public security department, which received the report, sent the garbage thrown from the high altitude to the judicial identification center for dna identification, and worked with relevant staff to collect dna information from residents for sampling and comparison. the next morning, a man surrendered himself and truthfully confessed his crime. it can be seen that using technical means of detection to reduce the possibility of some suspects "getting away with it" can itself have a deterrent effect.

after objects are thrown from high places, it has been a difficult problem to find the perpetrators in a timely and accurate manner in the past. this has also brought about two practical impacts. first, according to the provisions of the civil code, when it is difficult to identify the specific infringer, the user of the building that may have caused the harm shall generally provide compensation, that is, the situation of "the whole building is responsible" that appears in the handling of some cases of objects thrown from high places. this practical operation has a bottom-line effect on the protection of the rights and interests of the infringed, but it is also inevitable that there will be certain fairness disputes; second, if the perpetrators cannot pay the price they deserve, it may also encourage some people to take chances. these are realistic backgrounds that cannot be ignored.

therefore, actively using methods including dna identification and other technical means to solve cases of objects thrown from high places so that the perpetrators have nowhere to "hide" has considerable social significance, both based on the fairness of handling individual cases and the prevention of such behaviors. people are also happy to see it become a universal pursuit.

therefore, if someone throws feces from a high place and tests the dna of the entire building, it may seem a bit "troublesome" and may even incur certain costs, but it is by no means "using a cannon to kill a mosquito."it conveys a serious attitude of zero tolerance for objects thrown from high places and strict punishment for violations of the law. it will be of great help in enhancing society's awareness of the serious nature of this behavior and helping to better protect everyone's "safety above their heads."

in fact, in recent years, many properties have installed high-altitude object dropping monitoring equipment to curb high-altitude object dropping through technical means. we also hope that more technical means can be used in advance prevention, so as to achieve lower governance costs and better results.
