Isn't it illegal to put something other than official U.S. mail in a mailbox?
Technically, it is. But I've had people I know drop things off to me in my mailbox (sometimes at my request,
sometimes at their suggestion, and I do have a rather large mailbox), and neither I nor my mailman have ever
been inclined to have them arrested for it. (During the last campaign there were tons of political materials
left in my mailbox,
not all of which had the stamp of official mail. I could have been an ass and had
the senders sought and busted, but I just pitched them into the C.S. file.)
What would be the more egregious offense: someone leaving meds for her friend's kids in her friend's
mailbox, or a country sheriff's deputy full of himself and his power having them busted for insulting him
on Facebook? Between the two, I'm pretty damn sure I know which one is the worst of the two---and it isn't
the mailbox suggestion.
