(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?
Your response seems to be “why don’t people use the government backed service” and not “wholy shit I live in a Kleptocracy”
It seems to be a combination of victim blaming (thier fault for not shipping with USPS) and the normalization of tyranny (if the states ever wanted to water that liberty tree now would be a good time).
Again, people can have multiple takeaways to a story, like:
Its a full on problem with the businesses though. Not just semi justifiable confiscations. But how about when… https://youtu.be/yKB7zqoLe5M

The police work for UPS/Fedex/DHL? News to me. I think you are confusing civil asset forfeiture to corporate corruption (not saying that they are not both bad and happening).
Missed it. At no times are cops involved in these examples. Ups and FedEx as private entities have no… As in none unless you can successfully sue them. Have any liability or due to getting you your stuff or care what happens in the mean time. The USPS is culpable to the point of absolutely any government entity. Hands tied by law if you want to inspect any non-opened package you need a court order. My examples btw are of 1 individual dealing with ups in this case losing his stuff only for him to find it not only in the hands of ups… Who kept throwing their hands up about any involvement in the process of what rob then had to deal with trying to retrieve his lost “1 of 1” custom parts.
More to the point they aren’t culpable or bound by literally any law so letting police just run rampent over all of their facilities is completely legal for fed ex/ups/ dhl…
I mean, it’s kind of like intentionally pulling out in front of someone running a red light. Yes, they were in the wrong. But you’re going to get fucked regardless. Sometimes you can simply choose to avoid the problem because criminals gonna crime.
Good grief, what is this even supposed to mean? It’s not baiting with an image macro it’s performative commenting surrealism!
Well I was going to make a well thought out reply but the weird American view point of living with literal government theft just left me a bit dead inside and needed the laugh.
