Here in RI, garbage is he property of the State and it's illegal to take from someone's garbage. But to answer your question, No.

I appreciate it but no thanks. We have more than our share here and it just isn't the same unless you shoot it yourself.

Oh, I get the whole 'draw down' humor, I just don't happen to believe he was kidding. I think he was pissed because someone less fortunate than he was going thru his garbage looking for cans to recycle. Note the  after his statement. I think after receiving some ridicule, he tried to play it off as vieled cynicism.

Yes, i think he was pissed about the person rummaging through his trash.... but was kidding about the draw-down part .... I would be also, you dont go through people's trash in front of their house. You act like he shouldnt have a problem with that. hey, am I supposed to let them sleep on my doorstep also? I think not ..... I am compassionate to someone that is "less fourtunate" but that doesnt mean i have let them do whatever they want. If they want cans, they can ask. heck, I would leave a special bag of cans out every week if they asked! but i dont want people rummaging through my trash. |

In my area of the PRK it is the same. We have caught several ah, people from the south going through our recycle cans picking out cans and bottles. Normally I could care less but the county recycles this stuff and collects the money for their general fund. As a result they get a bit upset at folks that take "their" trash. I just make sure the paper is on the bottom of the can and put the cans and bottles on top. Makes their visit shorter at least. |

I did just that. One morning I was woken up by some crackhead digging through my garbage, except he wasn't collecting cans. He was only pulling papers out and putting them in a file folder in his other hand when I came out of the house with an L-Frame Smith pointed in his direction. He saw me, dropped the folder in the street and ran off faster than I could catch him. In the folder were utility bills, bank statements, and credit card receipts from a dozen neighbors up the street. That's when I was glad I had a shredder. And he never came back. |

The use or threatened use of deadly force is still not a very good or smart response, even in your case. Are you really man enough to kill a guy for taking your utility bills? I don't want anyone to get me wrong, I'm not suggesting you shouldn't be prepared for surprises when you go out to check on the bump in the night. Take a firearm with you? Sure. Have it out, cheeked, for example? Sure. Draw down on a guy rummaging thru what you discarded? Why? So you can run directly to your keyboard and solicit the opinion of the hive mind? Settle down a bit a come join the rest of us back here in reality. |

Of course not, that would be stupid. Why you would even think something like that is beyond me. I never fired at him, merely showed him the pistol. He was clearly a criminal looking for financial and personal information to commit credit card fraud and indentity theft. When I confront a perp like that I am armed and showing it. The gun is there in case he attacks me. Simple as that.
I do live in reality. You, OTOH, obviously have no personal experience with deadly force engagements. This guy was a criminal and I was protecting myself on my own property. He turned and ran, and I had to let him go. You can't shoot someone fleeing in the back. |

There are several cases that deal specifically with this, and in essesnce, it is considered abandoned property, even within the "curtilage", hence anyone can rummage through it, including the PO-lice. We call it a 'trash pull' and we generally just get on the back of the garbage tuck and roll-up that way. However, a private citizen doing such while within the curtilage, i.e. your private property, is trespassing and must vacate once instructed to do so by the owner or the owner's agent.

Hmmm...can't edit above.
General definition of curtilage: “The curtilage concept originated at common law to extend to the area immediately surrounding a dwelling house the same protection under the law of burglary as was afforded the house itself.” United States v. Dunn, 480 U.S. 294, 300, 94 L. Ed. 2d 326, 334 (1987). “[T]he curtilage is the area to which extends the intimate activity associated with the 'sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of life,' and therefore has been considered part of the home itself for Fourth Amendment purposes.” Oliver v. United States, 466 U.S. 170, 180, 80 L. Ed. 2d 214, 225 (1984) (citation omitted). In North Carolina, “curtilage of the home will ordinarily be construed to include at least the yard around the dwelling house as well as the area occupied by barns, cribs, and other outbuildings.” State v. Frizzelle, 243 N.C. 49, 51, 89 S.E.2d 725, 726 (1955). Sheep |
