(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?
People can take two things away at once. Indiana is just as corrupt as ever (but in this fun new flavour!) and the reason you use USPS over another carrier is that USPS has federal protections and UPS/FedEx have none of those (and also they are bootlicking scum)
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:
- It’s advisable to use USPS as they have federal protections for the customer that UPS/FedEx do not
- Indiana is a terrible place full of corrupt bullshit like this
- Op doesn’t know what victim blaming is
- The US is a kleptocracy
Its a full on problem with the businesses though. Not just semi justifiable confiscations. But how about when… https://youtu.be/yKB7zqoLe5M
Oh and another from the same person years 4 later
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).
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.
