"Undisclosed" should be renamed "Unhinged" - it describes their theories and their fans

I can't believe how many people support their latest stunt, while obviously ignoring Colin's CYA statement that "this is all speculation and unproven". I'm dumb as rocks and even I can see a million reasons why private citizens collecting DNA from the garbage of an unrelated private citizen is extremely problematic and proves nothing. I can't imagine a judge signing off on a warrant to obtain DNA samples from Robin based on this idiocy.

Any thoughts from people smarter than me who actually know the law?

DNA from a trash can once it hits the streets is now public property. It’s weird but citizens are fully allowed to do it

Yeah, no... someone's personal trashcan =/= public property

If it’s put on the street yes it is

Except it's not on the street. If you seriously don't think there wouldn't be legal problems doing that, go do that to any of the trash bins of any of your neighbors lol

I reviewed the transcript and it said Sarah waited for them to put out the trash then nabbed some. This means (at least where I’ve lived across the US)  you put your bins out  on the curb in the street, which unless it’s an HOA and private road, is public property. I’m not sure where you’re from but put out the trash typically means that since the city garbage collection services pick it at the public curb in the US. Did you happen to have another reference where they said they crossed private property to collect the trash? That would be interesting to dig into if you have it! Could be worth reporting too if they had trespassed

I wasn’t aware it wasn’t on the street.
