How safe is USPS, REALLY? Post-arch. Let's sort out the facts vs myths : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

Technically, no. I mean the USPS has informed delivery, they have databases of everything sent and to whom. Like /u/Tre said, AI is going to play a part into this if it does not already.

I think they might poke check them. I knew one cat who would line his boxes with stick on ceramic tiles to they couldn't. Sometimes usps does mess up. We've had packs get routed through places very far away that didn't make sense.

They all have links for more detail, but the 4th amendment does not apply to mail in the mail stream. The mail would have to be on the person's property for that amendment to be invoked. It's about property search and seizure like cars and houses.

Priority Mail Express: Anything mailable, letters, merchandise.
Priority Mail:Anything mailable, bills, invoices, personal correspondence, merchandise.
First-Class Mail: Anything mailable, bills, invoices, personal correspondence, merchandise.
Periodicals: Newsletters, magazines; (formal authorization needed).
USPS Marketing Mail: Advertisements, circulars, newsletters, small parcels, merchandise.
Package Services and USPS Retail Ground: Merchandise, catalogs, printed material, computer media.

The above individual knows not about what they speak. That said, no, Priority is not First Class. First Class is basically the cheapest postage that you can pay for and USPS will actually deliver you shit. No tracking, no insurance (unless you want to pay extra for one or both). No one uses First Class besides for greetings/holiday cards, bills, debt collectors, maybe magazines but I'm not 100% about that one. But yeah, you get the idea. If anything is protected by anything it's Priority protected by the 7 extra dollars that you paid for it.

The USPS is a federal entity. Feds cannot legally search and seize shit without a warrant from a judge. It's in the constition. If they do then a judge will throw that shit out of court. I've seen it done and it's happened to me but not involving the USPS. The fuzz illegaly searched my car once because I left it unlocked and rode with someone else to an event and I get back to the car in the middle of the night and there's 2 yoinkers going through my car. They made me toss the pot pipe and paraphernalia into the river that I was parked at (ikr.. weird request but they weren't taking me to jail) and then let me go. Years later, after talking to a lawyer after an actual drug arrest, the lawyer told me that leaving my doors unlocked was the smartest thing that I did that day.

USPS inspectors are nothing but glorified cops wbo work with the mail. All of the same rules apply to them that apply to cops. I know this because I have done extensive research into the matter. I Iooked at becoming a postal inspector (not for real but the requrements and what came with the job) and all of the same criterea must be met as a federal police officer. I looked into the power that postal inspectors have and they have the power of arrest, they carry guns, they can call in any precinct for backup should they need it.... they're cops. They need warrants to poke holes.

My guess is some postal worker got a little sus of your pack and did their own poking around. Probably to decide whether to steal it or not but that is not the signs of a lawful postal inspector doing their job.

I hope this helps.

They're all US to US. Two are from the same vendor and same original post office--they are both stuck on "moving through network). The other one actually seems to be coming as of last night, albeit late, and from a different vendor 3000 miles away. I meant the only one I ever had seized was an int'l shipment from like 10 years ago, I got a love letter on that one. Different address from the current one though.
