My friend was recently stopped by a police officer and questioned about a package that was retrieved with his name and his mothers address on it that contained drugs in it. He knows nothing about the package. In fact he was informed by someone that the package was actually delivered acroos the street, opened by the residents across the street who seen what was in the package and then called police to come get it after they opened it. The package was never delivered to his mothers address. After being stopped and questioned about it he went to the police station the next day and is being pressured by law enforcement because they insist that he knows something. They told him if he doesnt give them some informatioin they will be arresting him for a package he knows nothing about. He never seen it, touched it etc. Ive heard of people in my area mailing packages with drugs in them to addresses and sitting and waiting for the packages to be delivered. They retrieve the packages before the home owners are aware that the packages were even delivered. My questions are can he be held accountable for the package if he has no association with the package other than his name being on it? Anybody can send a package and put anyones name on it. He never seen it, touched it in fact like I said the package was not even delivered to his mothers address. If they do try to arrest him for it. Is the package even legal evidence anymore? If it did have his name on it and was opened by someone who wasnt him. Isnt that illegal to open a package that you know isnt yours? The police did not obtain a package from the post office or anything. They recieved the package from someone who took possession and illegally opened a package that they knew was not theirs. My friend is pretty freaked out about the situation as well as his family at his mothers. So please please please give honest input.
