The city of San Francisco has now instituted garbage police. (Hat tip: Defense Mechanism)
The San Francisco Department of the Environment didn’t even wait for the November Election to demonstrate how life imitates art. Under a proposed law, trash collectors are going to inspect garbage before throwing it in the truck. If you (gasp!) don’t put your recyclable materials into the right containers, you will be warned. You could also draw a fine. “Big Brother is watching.” & “Ve haf vays of dealing mit people like you!”
If you offend three times, you could be fined up to $1,000.

“We believe mandantory recycling can get us to the next level,” a city spokesperson is reported to have said.
How long before this “mandatory recycling” spreads across the country? How long before the garbage police are used to locate guns owners as suggested by Defense Mechanism? What other things will they be used to police, what church you attend, what you eat or feed your children, or just the amount of garbage? The possibilities are endless and very scary. This is big government gone wild.
