If someone places a rambling diatribe about a third party in
someone's mail box, can they be prosecuted for mail
tampering, as this is a breach of privacy? The only thing I
can find is a potential fine of up to $5,000 for an
individual for placing an item in a mail box without it
having proper postage validated by the post office.
Personally I think there are other, more important, issues
like defamation of character here, which I think is civil,
but they're trying to find something criminal in this. They
did not remove or change any mail, just stuck the note inside.
