I'd consider going through everyone's rubbish in case they are criminals to be much the same as intercepting everyone's phone calls, wether it happens to be legal or not. And if this is widespread, wouldn't everyone just destroy their rubbish anyway making it completely ineffective as an intelligence source?
Also, successful undercover agents are even fewer and further between than informants.
