[0:00]I'll go ahead and put the records on Detective Joe Ricari.
[0:03]I don't need to re-swear you in.
[0:05]I'll just remind you to do it.
[0:07]Okay.
[0:14]Detective Ricari, let's go back to the investigation before you took over.
[0:19]It's still Detective Pagan.
[0:20]There's a mention in the entire report of trash pulls.
[0:23]What's a trash pull?
[0:25]Trash pull is when you make arrangements with the supervisor of sanitation
[0:28]to have the trash man go on to the property
[0:32]remove the trash and place it in the empty well of the trash truck
[0:39]and you follow him to a different location
[0:43]and you retrieve the bags from the truck.
[0:45]How is it that you can take things off someone's property
[0:48]without a search warrant in that way?
[0:51]Is it permissible because it's been discarded?
[0:53]It's discarded.
[0:53]It's trash.
[0:54]It was in the truck.
