No problems though, I was pretty quick! I think the first time is a warning then after that you get a stiff fine. There seems to be little or no enforcement of the law anyway as I see a lot of people picking.

Why would there be a law against scavenging? It keeps some stuff out of the landfill. You would think the environmentalists would support that. We all should get a tax credit for all the sets we have kept out of the trash heap. It is totally harmless to trash pick and I've seen the tras collectors do it themselves. Many a gutted tv got put in the front seat of the trash truck on collection day. There are too many rules governing inconsequential human activity.
