Louisville Police and UPS are running a mail theft operation

That's right, @LMPD pays @UPS employees to go through your things and look for your money so that they can steal it.

Did you know that when you give your package to the UPS store, that the employee is going to take it to the back room, open it, put everything in a clear plastic bag, and call their "narcotics handler" if they come across money?

It's packed back up. A detective comes, says the drug dog alerted for narcotics (when the employee already went through the package and confirmed there were no narcotics), take the money, say the amount is "undetermined", do no further investigating, and never notify the sender.

Let's be clear: the amount of money isn't "undetermined".

They can count.

Not putting an exact amount allows them to pocket some, or even most, of it.

@LMPD is letting its officers and @UPS employees skim from the top as a reward for running this theft operation.

LMPD was actually caught doing this 5 years ago. The only way they were allowed to do any "parcel interdiction" again was to disband the entire unit who was doing exactly this, and never do it again.

They are clearly doing it again.

In this one, money was being sent from Jacksonville, NC. The money was in Marine Federal Credit Union bank envelopes and being sent to Chicago. Jacksonville has the largest Marine Corp base in the country.

That's right. @LMPD and @UPS are even robbing the troops and vets.

In this one, the detective says the package was coming from a "known source region of narcotics distribution".

The source region?

Unknown.

The @UPS employee had already destroyed the original label and printed one with just the recipient.

They're lying on their own reports.

This is what the war on drugs brings us: Police departments colluding with big business to straight-up rob you.

No trial, no notification, just theft.

Add this to the ever-growing number of reasons to end the war on drugs.
