Ethan Blevins, attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation, which filed the lawsuit last year on behalf of eight Seattle residents, called the ruling a “victory for common sense and constitutional rights.” “A clear message has been sent to Seattle public officials: Recycling and other environmental initiatives can’t be pursued in a way that treats people’s freedoms as disposable,” Mr. Blevins said in a statement. “Seattle can’t place its composting goals over the privacy rights of its residents.” The lawsuit argued that the ordinance essentially allowed warrantless searches, which Mr. Blevins described as an invasion of privacy and a “policy of massive and persistent snooping.”OMG! Common sense! Legal protections of privacy rights over enviro nazis! And in Seattle nonetheless. Amazing. May the tide be turning on the fascists. We'll leave the Seattle commies and race baiting, police haters for another day. This is a beginning. Thanks for posting KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle. I know how happy you are. :) It's a bright spot for us all.

I’m a bid I.D. fan and cops search garbage cans all the time, looking for D.N.A. or other evidence as long as it is sitting out on the street side to be collected, it’s no longer private property.
