In Pennsylvania, as in many other parts of the United States, the legal principle of "abandonment" is often applied when it comes to searching someone's trash cans without a warrant. This principle holds that once an individual places their trash outside for collection, they no longer have a reasonable expectation of privacy over those items.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in California v. Greenwood (1988) established that individuals do not retain a reasonable expectation of privacy in their discarded trash. As a result, law enforcement officers in Pennsylvania and other states can typically search trash cans without obtaining a warrant because the items have been voluntarily abandoned and are considered part of the public domain.
However, it's important to note that this principle applies specifically to items placed in the trash and does not extend to other areas of a person's property without a warrant or probable cause. Laws and interpretations can vary, so individuals should be aware of the legal context in their specific jurisdiction.
In this episode, we take a look at the laws in Pennsylvania and why the authorities were well within their rights to conduct a trash pull operation at the residence of Bryan Kohberger.
