Still, I wonder if this circumvents some of the law. If you can't prove I paid for some drugs, am I less likely to be prosecuted? If a random shipment of drugs showed up at my door with no transaction to match them with, am I even at fault?
- SwellJoe 15y agoIf so, I imagine politicians, police chiefs, judges, etc., will begin receiving gifts in the mail on a regular basis. Anyone with enemies, of any sort and for any reason, could be targeted. People have been raided based on where a package was shipped, in absence of proof of payment (I recall reading a story, I believe linked from HN, about a family whose dog ended up getting killed in the resulting raid, following a box of drugs being delivered to the wrong house as part of a sting). Anonymity just makes it really easy to get away with setting people up.
