lol i seen an episode of cops, where the guy was getting pillows of bud sent through ups, and one day the cops decided to take over the op and deliver the package themselves, they needed a signature of course (for positive identification and acknowledgment) then proceeded to take him down.
they new what was in the package and left it sealed until after they arrested him and made sure he confessed as to the contents of the package before they opened it.
basically i believe the difference is private (ups, fedex, dhl) vs. federal (USPS) ... when it comes down to it the private companies have every right to your package due to various clauses and contracts not holding them liable, etc. compared to the USPS that still needs to follow the laws provided by the government. |
