Opening packages

[Dr. JK]

If I receive notice of a package and go pick it up at the post office, what are my rights if it contians an illegal substance?

I always assumed that if I receive something illegal, I have some time allowed to either report it or get rid of it. Is this correct?

How do I prove that it does not belong to me and was set-up by someone?

Where is our legal rights counsilor=CITRUS?

Bro, get yourself a miniature, hand-held metal-detector device and a P.O. Box. Money well spent.

 

[Dr. JK]

Hulkster,

If the Feds or cops are on to you or the package, the metal detector and PO box won't help.

dude if i want i can send you a pakage full of dog shit nothing is stopping me the burden of proof is on them, but its pretty easy because they usaully cna find it all on your computer

 

[Dr. JK]

yeah, no kidding anyone (sender) can do shit like that. But you have to know what your rights as the receiver of the package.

If that was the case I can send you shit, leave/send you bogus confirmation e-mails/voice mails and get you arrested

I am not iterested in what the sender can or cannot do, but what receiver rights are.

 

[HULKSTER]

First of all, NONE of you should be making transactions on your home computers. Go to a damn library. Even if they are on to you, and you use the same library computers day-after-day, they can not prove that the shit on the computer came from you when dozens of people use the same computer everyday. Plus, if your local library has multiple computers, use a different computer in that library each day to really throw them for a loop. Shit, if you wanted, you could travel to an outside country or state and use a library computer there. What are they going to do, have the DEA follow you all over the place as you use different library computers? Even then, how can they prove that you, and no one else, were making those tranactions on the library computer in the first place. Keep your computer transactions, and your gear, OUT OF YOUR HOME! They can raid your house all they want; when they don't find a single pill or one tranaction on your computer, they can't do jack shit. Plus, if they damage anything in a raid, and it's proven that you did nothing criminally wrong, THEY ARE REQUIRED UNDER LAW TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES.

Hulkster, my questions are not about how transactions are to be made (I know that much), but more specifically of my rights as a receiver of any kind of package.

Let's pretend for argument sake, I get notice of a package at the post office. What am I supposed to do? Ignore it? Why, it could be something of interest to me.


Where are the law experts on this?

I would first ask your source if he:

1. Sent you a package.
2. Required that the package have a signature

If your source said he didn't send the package with signature required, THEN DON'T SIGN FOR IT. Concerning packages that YOU PERSONALLY know nothing about, let's say, were sent by the DEA, can not be used against you, for it is entrapment for law enforcement to send you a package out of the clear blue, consisting of illegal narcotics when you did not solicite for such a package in the first place.

 

[Dr. JK]

Hulkster, thanks for quick reply. My problem is that I live in a building with appts and therefore anything that cannot fit into the letter slot goes to the post office. Therefore, I have to sign-for it. Also, at the time of notice, I don't know who it's from. I have to go to the post office to find out.

So how do I get around the signing thing?
