What is the name of your state? OHIO
Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this question should go in a different forum, but here goes...
Here is the hypothetical situation: Someone whom I don't know personally sends me an envelope by US mail. This envelope contains another envelope that is stamped, addressed and prepared for postage. It is understood between the sender and myself that I am to drop this inner letter into a mailbox, to be sent via USPS to its destination.
My questions: First, does the act that I described above (of putting another's mail into a mailbox) in itself violate any state or federal laws?
Second, and less important, would I or could I be held legally responsible for the contents or consequences of the article of mail that I have forewarded? For example if the mail contained a death threat or the like?
Let me know if anything needs clarification, and thanksfor any help,
J
