Its just a scare tactic, the courts have already determined that once something goes in the trash it is in public domaine. They can arrest him and drag him through court all the way to the Supreme Court because they are allowed to. But if the courts don’t stop it then they will have to let out hundreds and maybe thousands of people that the corrupt system locked up over evidence found in trash by the cops. The system has always been rigged against the innocent since the system has unlimited resources to crush anyone against it.
