- salawat 8y agoMoore v. Regents of the University of California Says that parts of your own body are no longer "yours" after a surgical procedure. It would not be a long leap to make the argument that since the onus of disposal is on the municipal waste treatment company that your effluent becomes "theirs" as soon as it enters municipal sewage systems. I'm not saying it makes sense, but I've given up on thinking the government will let something like that stand in their way if they get their knickers in a twist. And the whole "unless it is in use by the general public test" is blatant overreach. It's just a way to sneak in new ways to get around 4th Amendment protections through creative interpretation. Doing a multispectral scan of someone's house is a bloody search. "I was just FLIRing" the entire neighborhood on a whim... Right.
