Let’s check some scenarios: 1) Police puts a mic inside your house, you step on it, and destroy it. Is it ok or not?

2) Police puts a mic on a guy who comes to your house, you find it, and destroy it. Is it ok or not?

3) Police puts a nano-mic (nano-gps) on you, you find it, and destroy it. Is it ok or not?

My answer to all of the above is that anything put on your property without you knowledge is up for grabs and destruction without further notice. Hour, car, or body is irrelevant.



In #2 the object is in your guests possession, not yours. So,no, you can't destroy it. In the other two cases, yes, I believe it is in your possession.


If someone puts a car or a body on your property, do you destroy it?


If someone dumps a trash on your property do you take it out?


A cat? At some point is have it towed. A body? Is call the police. Some small object? Is probably throw it away.
