Mail seized?

[thump easy]

Shit I would have believed it if they strip searched bent him over asked him to pull up his scroadum and cough n then checked his but hole for a keister package?? If it had that ending I problem believe it

Every couple of weeks I mail a random police station a bunch of seeds. I pack them just like the seed banks do; individually in little plastic bags. I make labels n shit too with police related names - like 'blue donut' or 'fat man in hard leather shoes'. But the gag is that I use really shitty seeds - Hermies and the like. So when they grow them out, they will get shit results.

I can't tell you how many times I get pulled over immediately after sending them. Usually by a couple of black SUVs. One time Will Smith was in the passenger side. They almost always cut me loose after I sign an affidavit that the seeds are for entertaining porpoises.

ummm i like the post master for my area so i have hung out in the post office here (she helps me i give her free stuff)
so i sat in the back with her a few times i know the way the system works

1 the tracking is not always 100% ........see the postal worker when dropping it off scans it and the system updates every 15 mins but if the batteries get under 30% is stops transmitting and the info is collected when it is back on base charger

sometimes the scans do not go tho so the end of the day postmaster goes to a page and pulls it up how ever many that did not get tracked and prints out a label for the number and imputs the data by hand .............then that is updated to the system depending on the post master that can be done at night when shutting down or day when starting up

Don't think this is the case as there have been no updates since the day it was sent and now it is past due to arrive

now the other answer is the cop dumped it or took it for self and will never get in system (sometimes happens) ...........but who ever should of gotten a ticket or something just for the small amount under your states law

Certainly strange. Sender should have gotten a ticket, fine, arrest, something...but as the story as goes the cop thanked him for being honest and seemingly did not think that the offense was worth pursuing given that small of an amount.

Could the cop have taken the information, went to the post office, informed them of the contents of the package where the package was then flagged and later searched upon reaching another location or wherever it went after the departing scan was performed?

Mail = federal crime and state has no jurisdiction...that being said I'm not sure how tightly the two would coordinate on something like this.

Did your friend get the dea letter saying to contact them?

nothing new since the incident happened.

When the OP posted the package, were youR friend wearing a Grateful Dead Outfit, dreadlocks and a t-shirt saying "Overgrow The Government (ask me how)"?

I still need a better explanation on how the hell you got stopped after mailing the package.

Did he tell everybody in town? Did he smell like weed in the PO? Seriously, this doesn't happen for no reason at all.

But assuming that there is a reason....

The scan is not literal, the PO could have just scanned it out of its system when handing it over to an inspector. Was it mailed 1st class or Priority? If the latter, it is already overdue and I wouldn't count on it arriving. If not, well, who knows.

I have a very hard time seeing the Feds pursuing a case like this with a few seed on either end. But some jurisdictions are different and, regardless of jurisdiction (these guys talk to each other) somebody might be watching you both. Maybe running a radar unit or FLIR over both senders and receivers homes.

Somebody in this story did something very stupid. Not just sending the seeds, something more than that. So stupid that it tweaked the POs radar. This would concern me if either party is growing.

I wasn't the sender or recipient, just asking some questions for a friend...

I have no idea how the sender was dressed when it was put in the mail. I find the series of events very strange as well. Why would local police be stopping someone sending a package? The package had not been opened by the police, he was simply questioning the sender. And when the cop found out, why would he let the sender go? If he was going to arrest him you would think it would have happened on the spot. If they were trying to build a case against him, why would they question him which in turn would completely tip him off? This thing is just a wild.

I edited my comment after you read it.

Well I'm no lawyer, but it seems like the cop might have been fishing for PC, which he got. I do not believe they could have opened the package without it, but certainly could have after. As far as letting the sender go, I dunno if he had the authority to do so. Stop n chats don't need no authorization. Probably not the best idea to be honest in the case.

My buddy is being super careful now. He uses the seeds for personal use anyway so its not like he is distributing or anything.

I highly doubt anyone is trying to build a case...if they were it would be pretty stupid to make it clear they are watching him buy pulling him over and questioning him. And if they were going to arrest him, I'm sure it would have happened on the spot right there considering he admitted to what he was doing.

Mail was sent first class with no guaranteed arrival, but the estimated arrival has come and gone with absolutely no updates. Is it possible it is still on its way and wasn't seized? Sure, but i really think something has happened at this point

If the story is true, the fake cop is working with someone inside the PO just fishing.
Likewise I recall some nasty weather in parts of the country delaying the mail.

 

[farmerfischer]

this guy probably told everyone in the entire fucking town what he was doing or theres no way in hell that would happen

Agree....I thinkin theirs way more to this story'. It just dont sound rite.....

Looking for some feedback if anyone has any insight.

My friend had a buddy who was sending some seeds across the country. His buddy sent the package via USPS. 5-10 minutes after leaving the post office he was pulled over by a state cop asking questions about the contents of the package. He was honest with the cop and told him about the illegal items the package contained, which was really a quite minimal amount.

Cop thanked him for being honest. Took his information down and said IF they opened it and there was a problem they would follow up with him.


This was 3 days ago. No further contact from the police.

Tracking information for the package is showing not only acceptance of the package, but then leaving Post Office a little over 2 hours later. There have been no further updates since then. Package showed a delivery date of today, but as of yet my buddy has not had anything arrive.

If the package was confiscated, why would it leave the post office 2 hours later?
If the package wasn't confiscated, why would there be no further tracking updates since leaving the post office?
If his buddy was going to be arrested for the package, wouldn't it already have happened by now?

What is your take on this? What do you think happened to the package?

Sending illegal contraband thru the Uninted States Postal Service is a federal offence....... which means FBI.......unless you live in Mayberry or there was a dead baby seal in the box or you are on the 10 most wanted list or as someone stated earlier they were already on your trail this story reaks........just like the john told the prostitute as he slid her panties down something smells fishy !!!

 

[farmerfischer]

If this is true, the cops are building a case rite now..they'll probably contact him in aweek or two....best of luck prison sucks......
