Can Someone Make Sense Of This Behaviour?

This morning I was walking my dog, obeying the law and the socially obvious right thing to do. I picked up and bagged my dog's doings. Just ahead of me, in the alley was a man doing the same. As he walked off, he placed the bag on the ground. I was a bit baffled! Next, further up the walk, his dog dropped another package. The man picked this up as before, walked a few steps and hung the bag on a fence. He then said 'Good Morning' to me as I passed him....I got the sense that this was completely normal behaviour for him. He didn't look guilty or worried that I had seen him do it.
What's the most likely explanation for this behaviour? It was a strange mix of the right thing to do followed by the obviously wrong thing. Laziness? stupidity? Defiance? Expressing himself as an individual? It all seemed so surreal!

Barry mine is a Rescue, as always, so you take what you get. The first day he walked into my flat, after about an hour, he went over to the patio doors and turned round and gazed at me with a fixed stare. Clever boy, he was asking to go out. But, he only ever does a pee. Anything else he waits until he is walked.
Let's face it, the majority of dog owners have only one purpose in "walking" the dog - to get it to pee and defecate away from the home.
For the former any lamppost will do, for the latter free disposal bins provided by the long-suffering taxpayer.
Yet if a human tries peeing up against a lamppost they get fined and put on the Sex Offenders Register. What a stupid society we've created.

Urinating in public will not get anyone put on the SOR unless it was done deliberately to cause alarm or distress. You could get charged under a bye-law but that is not enough to get on the SOR.
"In order for an offence to be classed as indecent exposure, it must be proved that the exposure was intentional and intended to cause harm or distress. Therefore if you expose yourself accidentally, such as when going to the toilet, it is not possible for this to be counted as indecent exposure."

It might be different in other countries.

The bag is just for appearances, then they chuck it into the bushes or onto someone's lawn. Standard-grade hoomans.
