It’s 5 years in federal prison for mail tampering. Not many would be willing to risk that. I bet UPS and FedEx drivers are a lot more careful because they don’t have that hammer to bring down.
I doubt that would mean very much to many young street thugs, some homeless, a junkie, or a deranged person.
“It’s 5 years in federal prison for mail tampering. Not many would be willing to risk that.”
That was my first thought too. Even people in LaHood (a little transportation secretary lingo, for those of you in Rio Linda) know THE LAW.
They are more than welcome to try to steal granny’s check (even if they’re all electronic these days), but they risk some SERIOUS JAIL TIME, much more time than, say, killing an 8 year old black kid in Chicago.
