We'll hear argument next in number 86-684, California versus Billy Greenwood and Diane Van Houghton.

Hey, everyone. This is Leon from Prologue Projects. On this week's episode of 5 to 4, Peter, Riannon, and Michael are talking about California v. Greenwood, a case from 1988 but the Fourth Amendment

and trash. What was the last thing you threw away? Maybe it was just an innocent receipt,

or maybe it was something more personal, like an empty medication bottle or a bank statement. In the case

of Billy Greenwood, his trash contained evidence of illegal drug use.

This came to the attention of police, who for weeks coordinated with Greenwood's local garbage men

to have his trash separated and held for them to inspect. They did this without a warrant,

but used the evidence they found from his garbage to later secure a warrant to search his house,

where they eventually found illegal substances

and arrested Greenwood on felony charges. Greenwood sued, arguing at the search of his garbage,

violated his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. In a six-two decision,

the court held that curbside garbage is not protected by the Fourth Amendment. This is five to four,

a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks.

Welcome to 5 to 4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have debased our civil rights,

like hosting a UFC fight at the White House is debasing

our nation. I'm Peter. I'm here with Michael. Hey, everybody. And Rianne. Hi, everybody. You know what?

It's kind of like, okay, do you believe me now? I've been saying, like, this is America, you know?

Trump reveals what America's true nature really is. And here you go. I don't want to

hear a single Democrat. I don't want to hear a single little righteous, annoying little lib online be like,

oh, how America has fallen, our image, blah, blah, blah. No, this is the most genuine

expression of the American id.

Exactly.
