Excellent links. However, all of the search warrants cited seemed to indicate the subject of the investigation SIGNING for the package as part of the ASW.

Nothing could stop me from finding the address of, say, a former friend who owes me a lot of money, and finding some overseas drug ring who would ship them a highly controlled substance through the USPS, with no signature, for revenge. If this person regularly used LEGAL OPs, what would stop the police from establishing a motive ?

We are still talking theoretically, of course...I would never do that to anyone.

If you or I moved into an apartment and the former tenant had some "shipments"...due...and you or I used a LEGAL OP or frequented a site like Drugbuyers...think about how many millions of people are doing this these days...

Where is the fine line between "Circumstantial Evidence" and "Intent" here when people get daily deliveries of unwelcome boxes full of junk mail...tax forms, bills, and credit card offers for former tenants, and Email accounts full of equally unsolicited offers for Viagra and Vicodins ?

There have to be some rational guidelines to the Fourth Amendment, somewhere. Hopefully ? Or at least budget constraints on the agencies who...supposedly...nailed the person who started this thread for...supposedly...importing, what, a month or two's worth of medications ?

Surely in the midst of an extremely expensive war and harsh economic times, DEA money is best spent elsewhere.
