According to The Washington Post, the US Postal Service has been giving information about thousands of Americans’ letters and packages to law enforcement every year for at least ten years.
The postal service provides law enforcement with the names, addresses, and other details from the outside of boxes and envelopes without a court order.
The Washington Post, in response to a congressional probe, looked at a decade’s worth of records. Postal Service officials have received more than 60,000 requests from federal agents and police since 2015 and they rarely say no.
Postal inspectors recorded more than 312,000 letters and packages between 2015 and 2023.
It doesn’t matter if it was 100,000, or 300,000, or ten million. The government has no right to do this.
The truth is the Washington Post is not a reliable source; however, judging from the behavior of our government over the last two decades, this is likely true. If so, we are becoming a surveillance state. The government should have warrants to get this information.
It is no small matter, but Americans seem apathetic to everything. Our borders are wide open, the Progressives are destroying our economy, and nothing seems to matter.
When I say EVERY fed agency, EVERY fed entity has rotted to their core,
I MEAN EVERY ONE of them
This has long existed however, Obama’s REAL legacy was to FULLY INFEST EVERY govt agency with DS Operatives,
traitors by any other name.
It’s not, “clean up in aisle 9,” but Clean Up in EVERY Aisle. A systematic tear it down and start over.
The Postal Service, that’s USPS in a contractor to operate the Post Office, that’s the USPO. The China Man mails me a package using the post office. I try and mail the exact same package back to the exact same shipper/address. The USPS wants to charge me 5 times as much to send back as the China man paid to send to me!
Please help me to correct this disparity. My phone 334.695.5022 My address 515 county road 3330 zip 36010
Post office has been doing this a lot longer. I worked there. If a person was a “person of interest” postal inspectors would have postmaster take copies of mail and send it to them. Also their automation machines which go back to the late 1980’s make an image of every letter and store it.
USPS is photographing EVERY piece of mail, front and back, as admitted to by USPS retail counter employee.
Where is all that data going? and who is storing it? and who else has access to the data archives?
Add USPS workers to the tribunal list.. At 3 minutes per employee for their life, the tribunals should be over in a few monthes.
I was one of a handful of postal inspectors trained to reverse engineer the mail processing systems for investigative, aka surveillance, purposes. I later became a whistleblower over other ethical violations and was then illegally surveilled and fired. If one of the largest agencies in the country (second only to DoD) will do that to a decorated agent, imagine how little disregard they have for ordinary citizens.
You set up the proccess. Not a promotional bell ringer after the fact. But thanks.
Might makes right.
I have nothing to hide. The only ones who should be worried are bad people.
So you won’t mind if cops search your home every now and then, for no particular reason? What if they find drugs or guns that friends or relatives left there without your knowledge? What if the cops plant drugs in your home during one of their searches? What if the definition of “bad people” says you can’t have a Bible in your home because it slurs homosexuality? What if drugs are mailed to your home because you have the same name as a drug dealer? You can end up in prison without doing anything wrong–yet you will thereafter be considered a “bad person.” Nowadays, if you don’t safeguard your freedom, you soon won’t have any.
That mindset is pure ignorance. Read the book “Three Felonies A Day.”
Trump, Giuliani, Bannon, and Stone never had anything to hide. Law abiding gun owners have nothing to hide. Alex Jones has nothing to hide. J6 protestors had nothing to hide. Concerned parents have nothing to hide. Christians and Jews have nothing to hide. The unvaccinated have nothing to hide. Unborn babies have nothing to hide. All is well, right?
That statement sums up the apothetic response of mos americans, your ignorance is mind boggling.
Ur stoopid
a real valedictorian, right here….
LOL
That’s a slogan. Maybe it was true once. It’s not now.
I hope it lasts!
gotcha Comrade.
“commies to the left, commies to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you…”
You hope warrantless searches continue.
