Re: Digital Fingerprinting
Finding the mail mixed in there is evidence that supports the "charge" but surely can be rebutted. When I was practicing in a small town c. 1984, people would be summoned (sent a paper telling them to show up) to court for illegal dumping if their mail was found with other trash, old refrigerators, etc., in a creek somewhere. Those charged could always put on proof that Billy Bob's garbage service picked up their trash ...
The sentence was almost always to go and pick up some multiple of the garbage found and take it to the landfill.
This was Stockbridge, in MA, right :-? That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. Said "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information bout it". I said "Yes Sir Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage."

No, it was in Western Kentucky with a week or two of a family's garbage and maybe a worn out appliance or two. No garbage pickup provided by the county; private haulers expensive; dropping much at the landfill both inconvenient and "unnecessary" given the availability of hard to find valleys and creeks. EBD
