#1 And if you believe the rumors, fingerprints as well.

I guess if we are re-defining everything, might as well redefine Going Postal

Begs the question: that warrant needed, is it needed if the USPS itself does the search? A sort of because it was freely handed to us, we have jurisdiction?

#3 Nothing suddenly new ...Fireman son does it due mail theifs while he is on shift. Called "informed delivery"... but bothers the hell out of me regarding likely big brother abuses.

#4 ^ Can you say that grammatically?

#5 Makes sense, especially in this age of porch pirate as vocation. Along those lines, like that the freight people are taking pictures of deliveries; sure is a lot more fun that playing I said/He said with pallets wraps.

I believe the concern at the time was that during Obama's 2nd term institutions and procedures being put into place might eventually be used against political rivals and enemies.

I think Robert Michels did some thinking about that.

#6 My theory is, every time they photograph my gas bill, that's money that isn't going towards the war on terror, drug smuggling, etc.

Pathetic bastiches...

#7 Do they have an app where you can download your last several postal use photos? In case you need to prove you mailed something.

#8 Read cop fiction. The cameras aren't working or don't show anything useful.

#9 Screen shot of the app sure looks like it.

From under one of the tabs:
Informed Delivery is a free service from USPS that shows you preview images of incoming mail, as well as status updates about your incoming and outbound packages.

Says it sends a B/W scan pic of mailed item, plus transit history and status.

Looks like it does what the other delivery services does, such as 'Brown'. I was the recipient of a wrong address parcel; next day it was picked up and I guess sent to the correct address, all on the senders side complete with a phone call -don't open that please!-.

#10 I'd imagine you could say "Check is in the mail, sent it 3 days ago." and literally forward a pic of said addressed envelope, location, and ETA.

#11 Old news. Some people don't like walking / driving to their mailbox for junk mail.

Slobbering idiots.

#12 Quick question for the droolers: Who owns your mail once it's in the box?

#14 Always a crack. Why you need to own all that sh*t even if you don't use it.

#15 It would also suggest that mail-in ballots could be traced back to a point of origin and highlighting such shenanigans such as multiple entries from a single address, unless things are kept so generic as to prevent such tracking, such as drop-off kiosks ~~unless its true that fingerprints are also scanned~~.
