Does this mean that the goal of the LEO was to only stop the deliveries without actually arresting the recipients? If that's true then it seems the way law enforcement works in the EU is very different than that in the US.
- burger_moon 9y agounless they can link your computer to entering that address, isn't there some plausible deniability that someone else entered your address. Having drugs delivered to your house isn't illegal if someone else sent them there right? (Asking about in the US, but also interested in hearing if it's different or the same in EU)
- jitix 9y agoI think there should be plausible deniability but I've read accounts on reddit where people were charged with possession because they received/signed for the package. I'm new to the US and not sure about how the DEA and the cops can actually pull this off without hard evidence. I may sound paranoid but I've since stopped accepting unknown packages.
- sjy 9y agoWhether your denial is plausible is a matter for a judge or jury. Your credibility might be stretched if, say, the drugs were worth a lot of money, you didn't report it when they turned up at your house, you had drugs in your house when the police searched it under a warrant, and you bought cryptocurrency which you can't account for a few days earlier. You might choose to take a plea rather than rolling the dice at that point.
