Quote from: jorg796 on November 05, 2012, 11:37 amPolice really can't do anything if they find you opening a package sent to your address.I could hate someone strongly and send a brick of cocaine to their house (massive waste of coke & money) and tip the cops about how I know about someone smuggling drugs, etc. Anyone can send anyone anything in the mail - whether or not they know it's coming or not. If you have a criminal record or something, my advice would be NOT to send drugs to your own address, because if you have a large quantity that gets caught, law enforcement may look into it. Unlikely, but still a risk. If you have a clean record, it is up to you if you send it to your own address or not.Don't take my tone as being argumentative (as it's no doubt going to seem), but I have to disagree with you: what proof of this can you offer? It's dangerous to tell people something like that without having direct proof it's true.Of course anyone can send you something in the mail without your knowledge. That's why they can't arrest you immediately upon intercepting the package -- it's why they do things like controlled deliveries. They have to actually catch you doing something illegal. For better or worse, friend, if you're holding something illegal then you're getting arrested for holding it. Whether you intended to be or not is for the court to decide, not the police. The cops just have to make sure they don't fuck up & get it thrown out of court (as well as 'interview' you in all possible ways, including lying to you, to try and get a confession). They can and most certainly will arrest you for receiving and opening a package that has illegal goodies in it.If it were true that they can't really do anything for opening a package, then it would be impossible to ever arrest someone for receiving drugs in the mail. Even if you opened it right in front of them. That just can't be the case (at least in the US).
