Perhaps on this particular proposal, we have some cultural
misunderstanding . In many countries, you have illegal buildings,
illegal garbage dumps, illegal access restrictions, etc. Even when they
are convicted by court, the situation is not corrected (lack of
authorities/means/police, corruption, etc) and only local people knows
that such building, dump or access restriction is illegal.
Also environmental organizations are fighting against illegal dumps. So
why would you not allow OSM to locate them ? Is it not one motto of OSM
to rely on local knowledge ? And if we have disputes, then we already
have a process for that, like any other tags.

You also have legal buildings, legal garbage dumps, legal access restrictions, etc., that are just as bad as the illegal ones. Environmental organizations are fighting against legal dumps as well as illegal ones.
