Heads Up for Our Yankee Friends

You just found that out now? This isn't anything new. If you care about your privacy, invest in a paper shredder and shred all sensitive documents.Webster said:
Fortunately there is a small buffer (for now) for Americans living in Canada either as PR or Canadian citizen. But I'll bet one day that will change when US LE can work directly with Canadian LE to prosecute for American crimes on Canadian territory. Americans already have tax rules that follow them despite foreign jurisdiction, its just another step to make American criminal law also follow them.
If you're a Yank and you have the means, I recommend getting another citizenship soon.

Wow, it's amazing that I agree on so many issues with a guy named georgebushmorongeorgebushmoron said:
.I gotta hand it to you. Your handle just cracks me up looking at it... then looking at your pic... I can't quite make it out, but it looks as if it's a sarcastic pic of George Bush painting him as a moron for the constant BS that spews out of his mouth.
Probably not long, which is a scary thought!!! Take the necessary steps to protect yourself.Webster said:
Long ago I gave up any expectation of privacy in the US... after all, if my Uncle Sugar wants to know exactly what I'm checking out of the library or buying from Amazon... all he need do is ask the related parties...
Privacy is a privilege, not a right!

This is an interesting thread.
You have a right to privacy and many criminals who committed very serious crimes have walked because the cops did not gather evidence correctly. But that does not mean you should be stupid and expect things in public areas not to be seen by the public or the police.
If your trash can is on your property then you should expect that no one would trespass and go through it. If you wheel this out onto a public street, then you should not expect this to be private any longer and this is now open to the public.
It is always the bleeding hearts that claim the government should protect them from everything.
Bull shit……take responsibility for yourself….you are the one who needs to protect your privacy….What fuckin idiot would put their credit card slips in the garbage? If the cops suspected you of being a child porn distributor, then you should not put your child porn pics in the trash can a put it on the street. Of course a perv would be stupid enough to do that and deserves to be caught.
For Christ sakes people grow up and be an adult. In Canada the government takes care of you cradle to grave and look how well that has worked.
In the US we have cops who cross the line and they need to be nailed by the government. But far and away most of the breaches in a persons privacy are a direct result of their own stupidity.
Man that felt good, better than a big dump.

good response ld, but i might add that when you have expectations of privacy, such as in your house car etc then the cops haave to jump through hoops to get any kind of a warrent, and they have to have evidence of probable cause to get it. however if you have no expectations of privacy such as putting your garbage on a public sidewalk then the cops dont need a warent. simple.
If your making meth or crack I don't have a lot of compassion since your probably destroying the house your renting (the landlord gets to pay for that mess), you have a good chance of burning down the neighbourhood, your polluting the area, not to mention meth is a bad drug.
Plus a garbage can is publicly available to anyone who goes by it, so throwing away ingredients to make meth without hiding your activities slightly is pretty stupid.
