Rubbish!

In light of recent court decisions saying Portland police were not violating the Fourth Amendment by swiping people's trash, the Willamette Week newspaper did something rather novel:

Since trash apparently became public property once it hit the curb, the intrepid reporters swiped the garbage of the Mayor, Police Chief, and a local District Attorney.

In the entertaining fiasco that resulted, only the DA seemed to manage a sense of humor about the situation.

Priceless, man. Priceless.
