Unless we look at the privacy implications. Just because I Dont' want the paper anymore doesn't mean I'm putting it in the public domain..... or does it. If people find my junk useful, they can take it. but if there was some paperwork in there that I probably should have burnt or cross-cut-shred, should privacy laws not provide some kind of protection here? What if I realize the mistake before the truck comes but the feds have already taken my documents? It could be murky, and should be defined. And for the record, I want law enforcement to be able to effectively do their jobs, and for technology to help them, but something that used to be hard and expensive that is now cheap and easy ( gps trackers instead of following people manually) should never be an excuse to abandon the fundamental principles put in place to prevent the abuse of power.
