Freegan – as seen on Oprah

That’s VERY interesting considering the police are allowed to
collect evidence from dumpsters and garbage cans because once it’s been
thrown out it’s consider public domain… meaning they don’t need a
warrant etc to collect someone’s “trash” as evidence. Yet, they can
turn around and charge someone with theft for taking something that
they themselves can take without cause? Interesting….

Interesting that you brought that up. Personally, I’ve never
thought of it as stealing, because someone put it in the dumpster.
However, the police thought differently when he saw my adult son
take some wood scraps from a dumpster (he was making a project with his
little brothers). He was charged with criminal theft!
