Question

I have nothing to hide but the police keep taking my garbage if I call them and ask if they are taking it and why are they legally obligated to answer me or will they lie to me

Answer

Once you put garbage to the curb, the police have the right to search through it without telling you. If you are that concerned, take your garbage to the dump yourself.
