Yeah I have heard the same thing from cops, however if the garbage is on your property you most certainly can trespass them for coming on your property. Cops will not want to do it, but if you insist they have to. If someone is digging thru your trash for docs at the very least they could be charged for criminal mischief if they were caught in possession of sensative documents.
I am not a garbage protecting snob, I leave shit out seperate of the garbage for anyone who wants it to take it all the time. But yeah I saw this guy pulled over as I was getting his tag number going thru someones elses garbage. A lot of guys own and or run their own construction companies out here, so maybe he finds a lot of good shit in the garbage. I don't know.
