I had my other thread deleted for other reasons so it wouldn't affect my case. All I will say is I was arrested for curb shopping and picking a unit up. Now I did some digging. In the california v greenwood supreme court case it has been ruled anything on the curb is free game/public domain for anyone ranging from law enforcement officials to common criminals. If its on the curb its free to take they ruled for whatever purpose you deem fit including law officials using evidence gained without a search warrant to arrest you. Ie, you throw you bag of dope in the trash, you can be arrested for it and prosecuted without a search warrant.
This overturned the previous 1974 privacy act.. Quite interesting and now is my bible for life. I will carry this law in my truck wherever I go. And on a interesting side note, only place I found that is illegal to curb shopping is NYC. But it is only a city ordinance. Still legal statewide and federal.
Some food for thought and I hope this helps you as much as it did with me. And on that note, Im putting full camera surveillance/audio in my truck and taking pictures of anything I touch on the curb now on to protect myself. Let me know if this helps anyone...
