Departure Procedure Question

Anymore, every place I fly to has SIDs and STARs with obstacle protection built into them. I do seem to recall once getting a memo that pilots departing BHM were getting headings assigned by the tower that violated the ODP. The ODP states something like "climb rwy heading to 1900' "before turning on course. The memo basically stated to be sure not to turn until the ODP was complied with.
