I don't allow my dog to poop on someone else's property when we are walking. I try to get him to wait until we are  on public property. When he is desperate he goes on the road. I always scoop. Also, if we see someone approach I say "with me" and he comes to my side so he is on the opposite side of the person approaching. He now does it atomatically.   
When he was a baby, I let him approach everyone. Being the "proud mom" I felt I was doing everyone the "honour of being allowed to meet my dog". LOL
