Seattle Times - A group of privacy advocates is suing the city of Seattle, arguing that having garbage collectors look through people’s trash — to make sure food scraps aren’t going into the garbage — “violates privacy rights on a massive scale.”
“A person has a legitimate expectation that the contents of his or her garbage cans will remain private and free from government inspection,” argues the lawsuit filed [last] Thursday in King County Superior Court by the Pacific Legal Foundation.

In third world republics people can't pay for garbage service and of course the government can't pay and the elites can't or won't pay. So garbage gets piled up here and there,,, everywhere... That is the reality in many third world republics, things can get a lot more crazy... Seattle should be happy people are paying for garbage service and not making piles of it everywhere.
It's appropriate that the Pacific Legal Foundation has its filthy hands in a Seattle trash dispute. They're one of the worst on the right. There may be times to make common cause with libertarian freaks, but this ain't one of them.
