THe point of all this wasnt to debate if what was on the disks was wrong. The point was to maybe illustrate how the 5th amendment is being abused here. Lets say someone tossed 2 pounds of marrijuana out in the trash by accident and some wandering trash picker is digging through your stuff and spots it and turns you in. Do you lose the right to your personal property once it is at curbside or since it was bagged up and in a bin , NOT in plain sight is it an unlawfull search? Can any one , the police included scoop up a bag of your trash and search it for clues to use against you?? It might make you think twice before you put things out in the rubbish heap.
