Post Carrier Accused of Warning Customer About 'Mail Cover' Surveillance

0 votes

Federal prosecutors in Detroit say letter carrier Darlene Cry illegally tipped off a postal customer that he was the subject of a "mail cover" -- a form of warrantless surveillance in which the envelope information on every card and letter received is secretly recorded by the Post Office, then passed to federal law enforcement or intelligence officials.

She warned him he was being spied on

Did they have a warrant? No jury conviction ever and it's non-felonious.

Postal Workers take an Oath to Protect and Defend

the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Postal Inspectors take that oath also.This should be her sole defense.

Read the patriot act II

All the government has to do is say that she is a known terrorist even if she isn't and her's and all of our rights in that case don't apply.

If voting could really change things,
it would be illegal. Here is hoping for change!

Jury Trial

I hope she demands a jury trial. Warrantless searches are a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Congress does not have the power to pass a law that violates the Constitution. I would like to be on that jury.

If law enforcement has probable cause to suspect criminal activity, let them go before a judge and get a warrant. This isn't Nazi Germany yet.

Any warrantless surveilance ought to be illegal.

If you don't have adequate evidence to WARRANT a search, you ought not be able to do so without going to jail yourself.
