Trash Survey?

Ummm.......
  • Off Topic but more tax dollars spent on BS.

    Today I was sitting in my living room and observed an enterprise rental can pull up in front of my house, a m/2 and m/1 get out and put a garbage bag over my garbage can and empty the contents and then place the bag into their van. So I go out there and ask them what they are doing? Of course their is a streets and san suv behind them and some f/1 gets out and hands me a letter that the city is doing research on what we put into our black garbage cans. HHHMMM. So what company is this doing this research? VANECKO Trash Analysis group?

    Interesting that the city has money to do trash research but has no money to put towards their pension obligations..

    More money down the drain for a well connected company.
Anyone else heard or experienced this? It sounds like a tremendous waste of money.

Otherwise, it sure sounds like a fishing expedition for evidence.

Buy a shredder. Shred everything, and make sure they have a big pile of shreds to sort. A little mayo, ketchup or gravy on the shreds also helps.

Don't take department documents home.
Get a fire pit. Get a confetti shredder.
Shred and BURN your sensitive documents.
Keep a bullshit cash card with a few hundred dollars on it.
Keep a bullshit cell phone.
A good shredder can grind up the SIM card.

Protect yourself from the city by all means.

It's preparation for forcing people to do recycling. In parts of the UK people have (I kid you not) five bins for food waste, paper, plastic, and have to sort their trash accordingly, and there is a range of fines if they don't. They have people doing spot checks on the contents of the bins. All with the excuse of saving the planet but it's really all about the cash. Just like speed and red light cameras (also pervasive in the UK).

Oh-oh. I *think* I know what may be up and it's more insidious than say...oh... just being investigated by the FEDS or sued in court. They could be doing a study on -- get ready, ya better sit down -- how much food people are throwing away, aka; 'Wasting'. And depending on how much 'good, usable' food you are 'wasting' if *they* (those unelected know-it-all progressive f--king bureaucrats) deem it to be too much you will be TAXED.

And I'm serious as a heart attack, as this is already happening here in the good old USA.

Sometime in the last month there was an article in a major news outlet about this new program taking effect somewhere out in the loony left coast. Like Berkeley California or up in Seattle Washington -- one of the libtard moonbat cities where the people are as goofy as the elected officials. These know-it-all assholes felt that too much food was being thrown away and to 'conserve resources' or some such bullshit nonsense like that, folks would be taxed for throwing away 'too much good food'. And the goofy 'citizens' love it! They're like: 'Tax Me PLEASE, I'm a bad person, I'm a food waster!' (goddamn morons is what they are)

Keep in mind that Chicago is the hometown of the biggest Food Nazi in the f--king world -- Michele 'Moochie' Obama! So if you get a new Tax Bill from Streets & San don't be shocked, you've been tagged as a 'Food Waster'.

In one respect it's kind of funny. Who ever thought you'd have to fear the friggen Garbageman?

Back to trash. Now, with the blue bins, I'm seeing how much trash that could be recycled is going into my black cans. But, with blue bin pickup once every two weeks (and the blue can is full every time), what're you going to do. If they sent the blue can pickup guy every week, I'd be fine with it.

Kentucky Teachers' Retirement sued for not addressing 'dire' funded status

By: Meaghan Kilroy
Published: November 11, 2014

A high school teacher in Louisville, Ky., filed a lawsuit against the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System, charging the Frankfort-based system with failing to adequately address its “dire” funded status.

Randolph Wieck filed the class-action lawsuit in a Jefferson County Circuit Court on Monday on behalf of all participants in the $18.1 billion retirement system.

The lawsuit alleges the KTRS board of trustees failed in its fiduciary duty by not “aggressively and publicly demanding the full funding they need to stay solvent,” by not informing members of the system's “dire funding status,” and by not “aggressively exposing flawed and biased research in the Legislature's pension reform process.”

Additionally, the lawsuit alleges KTRS has inappropriately invested in “high-risk alternative investments” such as hedge funds, along with firms that have been identified by the American Federation of Teachers as managers that “work against teacher funding nationwide.” The lawsuit asks that KTRS “amend its investment guidelines to allow investments only appropriate for fiduciaries,” invest with managers that follow state ethics requirements and exclude managers on the American Federation of Teachers watchlist.

KTRS' funding ratio was 51.9% as of June 30, 2013, court documents show.

“(KTRS) is so poorly funded at the moment,” said Mr. Wieck, in a telephone interview. “It doesn't seem that the Legislature is going to do anything, especially in (the 2015) session.”

Over the last five years, KTRS has been “shorted” more than $1.8 billion in pension payments by the state Legislature, the lawsuit alleges.

The lawsuit demands KTRS communicate its “severe” underfunding to its participants, “demand full funding from the General Assembly in a public forum” and “initiate an aggressive lobbying campaign involving and informing all KTRS members.”

The lawsuit also demands that if the Legislature does not provide full funding within a year, that KTRS “support publicly and financially legal action on behalf of its members against the General Assembly.”

Chicago cops CIO joins University of California in new managing director role

Pensions & Investments
By: Christine Williamson
Published: November 12, 2014

Samuel Kunz will join the investment office of the University of California, Oakland, in the new position of managing director, asset allocation and investment strategy.

Mr. Kunz's appointment is the first to the new asset allocation and investment strategy group being created by Jagdeep Singh Bachher, chief investment officer and vice president of investments, Mr. Bachher said in a memo to the UC investment team that was obtained by Pensions & Investments. Mr. Bachher took over as CIO in April.

Mr. Kunz was most recently CIO of the $4 billion Chicago Policemen's Annuity & Benefit Fund. Mr. Bachher said in the memo that he expects Mr. Kunz to begin work in California at the end of November.

The process for replacing Mr. Kunz, who resigned Nov. 7, will be discussed by the investment committee of the Chicago Policemen's fund at a meeting on Nov. 21, said Regina M. Tuczak, executive director, in an interview.

Mr. Bachher could not be immediately reached for more information about Mr. Kunz's appointment and the new asset allocation and investment strategy group.

I asked the instructors who are at the academy about searching trash cans. Here is the answer; "every situation is different, you need a warrant to do a search. It follows that you need a warrant to search a garbage can. There are certain protections that are afforded to the citizens by the constitution."

But you didn't see that Tracy was making more than him and his salary was adjusted to reflect he was the #2? Like him or not,usually the position yields the pay not person holding the position.

I saw them going down my alley in Edison Park a bit over a month back, and periodically stopping to look in cans.

Wow! I saw an SS truck outside my condo lined alley which has privately contracted garbage pickup a couple days ago. I didn't think anything of it as many city workers live on my block. The garbage canisters are communal and on our private property and in no way on the public way. I didn't see them going into them and no "letters" were received or left to indicate they would be doing any "research". Interesting

Amazon is building a distribution warehouse in Illinois. The tax thing will happen soon enough. Amazon will have to open it's books to the Illinois Department of Revenue.

I can go online and find every single purchase I made on Amazon from 1995 to present day. Soon Illinois will be able to do the same thing and start sending out tax bills.

A thousand years ago when I was in the employ of an agency, one of my coworkers insisted on fucking up operations on a regular basis. My morning runs just happened to pass by his flat and I had forgotten to take out my trash so I'd toss it in with his on a regular basis. Took about 3 weeks for his clearance to be pulled and his transfer to come down

U.S. Supreme Court

California v. Greenwood, 486 U.S. 35 (1988)
No. 86-684

Argued January 11, 1988
Decided May 16, 1988
486 U.S. 35

CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA,

FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

Syllabus

Acting on information indicating that respondent Greenwood might be engaged in narcotics trafficking, police twice obtained from his regular trash collector garbage bags left on the curb in front of his house. On the basis of items in the bags which were indicative of narcotics use, the police obtained warrants to search the house, discovered controlled substances during the searches, and arrested respondents on felony narcotics charges. Finding that probable cause to search the house would not have existed without the evidence obtained from the trash searches, the State Superior Court dismissed the charges under People v. Krivda, 5 Cal.3d 357, 486 P.2d 1262, which held that warrantless trash searches violate the Fourth Amendment and the California Constitution. Although noting a post-Krivda state constitutional amendment eliminating the exclusionary rule for evidence seized in violation of state, but not federal, law, the State Court of Appeal affirmed on the ground that Krivda was based on federal, as well as state, law.

Held:

1. The Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the warrantless search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside the curtilage of a home. Pp. 486 U. S. 39-44.

(a) Since respondents voluntarily left their trash for collection in an area particularly suited for public inspection, their claimed expectation of privacy in the inculpatory items they discarded was not objectively reasonable. It is common knowledge that plastic garbage bags left along a public street are readily accessible to animals, children, scavengers, snoops, and other members of the public. Moreover, respondents placed their refuse at the curb for the express purpose of conveying it to a third party, the trash collector, who might himself have sorted through it or permitted others, such as the police, to do so. The police cannot reasonably be expected to avert their eyes from evidence of criminal activity that could have been observed by any member of the public. Pp. 486 U. S. 43-44.

WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which REHNQUIST, C.J., and BLACKMUN, STEVENS, O'CONNOR, and SCALIA, JJ., joined. BRENNAN, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which MARSHALL, J., joined, post, p. 486 U. S. 45. KENNEDY, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

Page 486 U. S. 37

The issue here is whether the Fourth Amendment prohibits the warrantless search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside the curtilage of a home. We conclude, in accordance with the vast majority of lower courts that have addressed the issue, that it does not.

So there you have it, from the US Supreme Court. Your garbage is fair game if it is NOT on private property.

For complete decision go to:

I asked the instructors who are at the academy about searching trash cans. Here is the answer; "every situation is different, you need a warrant to do a search. It follows that you need a warrant to search a garbage can. There are certain protections that are afforded to the citizens by the constitution."

There you have it. You need a warrant to search a trash can.

That's your problem. You asked know nothings. If you knew how to do research, you would have asked one of the staff attorneys, or gone to a legal website. But then again, that's why you are where you are right now.

Hey why do we all have to come back from our furloughs and Not able to extend it past the 19-20 days But a few Dogs get anything they want??
WTF I came back days ago we all had the same furlough. Only in 019 LOL
Good job Boss taking care of certain ones



You are allowed to extend on BOTH ends of the segment, not just one or the other, as so many districts and so many bosses say. There is nothing that says you only get 21 days either. If a boss pulls that crap, have them show you in writing where it says only 20-21 days. They can use the ol "manpower needs" excuse, but then they have to justify it for each day of the extension, i.e. Billiken or Pride parade or something like that, and they have to not allow t/d for anyone not on furlough either, for the same reason. Talk to Kevin Graham in 019. I had this happen to me (in 019) and Kevin got it straightened out real fast.

No, you don't. If it's on the public way, you have given up your control over it. If it is on private property, a search warrant is required.

Someone posted the Supreme Court ruling on this earlier today. Print it out. Go back to those academy instructors. Hand them a copy of it.

I searched for Vanecko Trash Analysis group on the Sec. of State's website, and there is no LLC or Corp. with that name.

Well, between the two leading hypotheses, this weighs strongly. Extensive career introspection is warranted.

The city came out over a week ago and had mailings saying they were going to randomly check the blue cans to make sure that people were using them correctly. No conspiracy here!

Ask the staff attorneys at the academy? For what? So they can confirm the decision of the US Supreme Court? Oh I will really sleep well in that case. If they confirm the subject Supreme Court Decision of 1988 I hope someone writes the Supreme Court a letter informing them of this momentous event so they can rest easy.

Are you fucking nuts? Here, tell the staff attorneys at the academy this: Go fuck yourself.

The Supreme Court has slightly greater credibility that some hack attorneys at the Timothy J O'Conner Police Academy. I'll stick with their decision as published on Supreme.Justia.com

That is because YOU are not part of the in crowd!

YOU must show up to work on time and ready for roll call. The chosen few can walk in when ever they feel like it. Call them out and they will give you the "I've got a family " excuse.

YOU must bring in activity or you won't get your VRI for the month. The chosen few manage to talk other coppers into putting them on their contact cards. To get the other activity, they will take a car out for a few hours and write their parkers or ANOVS. And then go home early because they are tired.

OK, I had a brain fart. CR#. There, are you satisfied? Yes, I wrote RD# rather than CR#. Did you feel better pointing that out rather understanding the obvious mistake that it was? Did you even understand the purpose of the post? Did you add anything meaningful? And, for what it's worth, I guarantee that my IQ beats out yours by a good 50-60 points.

any law enforcement agency can search your trash without a warrant. They don't even need probable cause to search your trash. Its trash and you have no expectation of privacy. Shred anything you don't want anyone to see. Actually shred and re=shred.
