??? Ive got a question for you isn't it illegal to search in other peoples grabage is in a neighborhood. Because people through out social security numbers, credit cards etc. Ive once heard that searching though others people garbage cans is a federal law and that it is illegal. ???
??? Just a question. ???
admin edit: I changed subject to something more useful than 'hey admin'

Theres a difference between asking if you can have an old pieces of electronics they throw out and sneaking up and searching through there garbage bin during the night.
-
Yeah but i meant was sneaking to take them without asking. I know that asking is legal way to search in the garbage.
-
I've seen in movies teh fbi do it :-[
IMO you'll find better stuff in dumpsters of electronics stoers maybe
-
No but apart from movies. Movies are fictional to the real world.
-
if you get caught looking through someones, garbage cant you be fined for trespassing?
-
personal garbage... yes thats iliegal, but once its in that big dumpster, it is fair game for all
-
I saw something about that on TV... Alot of stores here apparently have dumpsters with compressors, that have some kind of sealing system... Kind of impractical to search through...
-
I think you can be charge by tresspassing and searching through garbage.
-
im wondering, was anybody really that desperate to search through garbage? lol
-
If I knew it wasn't illegal, and I found a good spot that I could see was full of electrical goodies, Yeah!
