It is just in the UK. They gave up all illusion to privacy and property rights long ago.

Opponent: Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, is against bin searches 'as a matter of principle' according to a source in his office

That's one big pickles jar.

Stop looking through my garbage!

Besides, I return the beer bottles for deposit.

My garbage is all down in the cellar and I take it to the dump myself. Come and get me, coppers! If you're in my cellar, I can shoot you, right?

It's not the govermnent in my garbage I fear. It's the identity thiefs. I try to always shread, but who knows if I miss one.

I called the Sherrif once about two guys digging in my garbage. Turns out, as soon as it hits the curb, even if it's still in your driveway, it's up for grabs.

What they need is a community swap for garbage. The day before pick up people would randomly swap bags of garbage so to blur any data.

This is in the UK, so no.. you can't have a gun. :(

Ugh...if the police were to search my trach they would absolutetly hate every minute of it. Leftover, rotting fruit and decaying uncooked chiken skin makes for a potent mix. I get hit with it when i take the trash out and i feel deeply for anyone who has to deal with it.

Motherfarkers. If I was aware of this and it was being done in my area, I would totally screw with the trash system. I'd start a company for screwing with people's trash in my area. Take trash from different areas and skew all of the results on a regular basis.

What bastards.
 
2011-10-17 11:25:03 AM
I burn all the things you could use for... well, anything. Even the receipt from the grocery store and the envelopes that convey things that might possibly someday be useful.

Don't be alarmed, they're just looking for food. This is what happens when the cities get overcrowded and the police are pushed out of their natural habitats.

OH NOES; they be searchin my garbage!

Most places in the US have laws on the books stating that the city owns whatever you put on the curb to be thrown away. So, yeah, the 4th amendment does not apply to anything you throw away. You are essentially relinquishing any rights you had to that object by throwing it away.

Labour start the practice, Conservatives promise to end it. Conservatives win election and practice continues and indeed expands, Labour denounce the practice.

One of these days I pray that everyone in the country will just snap and realise what a complete crock of shiat this entire corrupt political system has become. I know it's been said for a long time, but is it me or is it so blatant now that you have to willingly put your head up your own arse to not see it?

What kind of retarded cockmonkey would not only defend government practice, but also chastise those who seek to call out corruption in government? It's the same over here as it is in the USA, an essentially 2 party system with almost no practical difference between them. It seems that the only differences exist in propaganda pieces, and these days they put no effort into them.

We're doomed.

You could use a shredder and bleach if you want.

That might depend on jurisdiction. I recall years back on Long Island the local gov't got its panties in a bunch because people were "stealing" curbside recyclables.

I guess the "hits the curb" philosophy depends on whether or not there's money to be made in it.

Allusions. Not illusions.

Last time I remember the cops searching the trash where I live they found a wallet,shoes and either bloody clothing or a bloody towel connected to a murder case. All because a very mentally ill women called the police screaming about dead bodies being every where and overflowing from the dumpster. I remember clearly the cop who got in the dumpster finding them,getting back from them saying "I'm not touching this" and then they took the dumpster. Otherwise then that I think it'd be hilarious if they actually did that to try to find evidence against the people who live here,enjoy searching through even a days worth of garbage from 18 apartments let alone a solid week.

"Illusion" is correct. "All" and "to" are wrong. Allusion doesn't really fit here.

al·lu·sion
[uh-loo-zhuhn] Show IPA

noun
1.
a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication: an allusion to Shakespeare.

2.
the act of alluding.

3.
Obsolete . a metaphor; parable.

il·lu·sion (-lzhn)
n.
1.
a. An erroneous perception of reality.
b. An erroneous concept or belief.
2. The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.
3. Something, such as a fantastic plan or desire, that causes an erroneous belief or perception.

The sentence should read: "They gave up all illusions of privacy and property rights long ago." or "They gave up the illusion of privacy and property rights long ago."

Should I repeat my earlier post? But thanks anyway for correcting my language skills. I should hire someone to follow me around and correct me all day long and see how that improves my ability to communicate.

Easy there, rev.

I was correcting the Rotsky, not you. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Oh, and welcome to Fark.

You do know there is software to recreate shredded documents, right?

That's why I practice SBF - S hred, B urn, and F ertilize. Shred the docs, burn them, and bury the ashes. I would like to see someone recreate my docs after THAT.

Hang on a minute. From TFA - this isn't being done on a house by house basis, so at most the government can establish that my street is more diligent with its recycling and generates more copies of the Independent and empty Waitrose containers than one in Salford.

Can someone run by me why I should be upset, because I'm not really seeing it?

Nick Pickles, director of the privacy and civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch, added: ...'It would be unacceptable for details to be kept of the contents of individual households' bins, or any link to be made with other council records.'

I agree. It would also be unacceptable for the council to put a camera pointing into my bathroom and upload the footage to Youtube. I can probably think of several thousand other things they aren't doing to get outraged about, if you give me an hour or two.

So if I put my used tires and frig out by the curb, it's now the cities problem to deal with? I think the revenue officers would disagree.

If they want to look, give them something to remember you by.. Your magraget thatcher sex mask should do nicely.

Remember these key words: crosscut personal shredder.

I empty mine in the recycling bin, which is an open bucket that sits outside and gets rained on. Rain and shredded paper make pulp.

Just put a "for sale sign" on the frig and someone will steal it. problem solved.

I consider myself lucky that my trash is collected pretty consistently at around 8AM, after the street parallel to me. I take it out when I hear the truck and it's not there for more than a few minutes... and I watch it.

For "some reason" the Town has an regulation stating it must be out by 9PM the previous evening. Perhaps they want to feed the feral cats and skunks to expand the reservoir for rabies?

I'd not use such mulch for edible plants. Or are heavy metals in colored inks a thing of the past?

I have to say that I really don't care about this. I already shred everything with personal information on it to deter identity theft. If the cops want to go through a bunch of junk mail, rotting food, and cat shiat, have at it.
