Re: Mil tampering? RARA AVIS

More | Report Post

I agree that mil tampering is a federal offense. The recepticle is
owned by the owner, not the feds. Only mail boxes placed out in
public are federal property. That may be why it is considerd a civil
matter. And not a federal matter. A vandlised private mail box would
not be a federal offense. Just guessin!
