SF2296 allows that no search warrant is needed for a peace officer to look through a person’s garbage placed outside of someone’s residence in a publicly accessible area.
The Iowa State Senate passed SF2296 on February 22, 2022 by a vote of 49 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill is a direct violation to the 4th amendment, which give people the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant with probable cause.
