Thought maybe you could help with this since you got all that legal learnin' edumacation.


ok here is a question? for u guys

is there a local , regional,or national data base on post office boxes?
as to show flags on boxes
example: say u have a po box at a post office. ok u go and open
another po box at another po would that show a flag some where inn
a local or national data base that there are two boxes in one name?
do they keep records like that???
2nd part:
does mail box etc. and places like that send inn any info. on who rents there
boxes? i know they keep records but again do they send that info.to national
or local data base?
so would it show up somewhere that there are two boxes inn one persons name, in a
region??
And would it show up about the mail box etc. type places??

let me tell you what i know for 100% sure. there is a federal database which contains all information of a federal nature. i personally have ran searches on this database using a federal judges password that i'm close to. yes if one box is flagged all the boxes under that name and or personal info. are flagged as well. i have 3 p.o. boxes at three different post offices and they were all three listed in the database. there was an individual that was sourcing and my gut told me he wasn't being cautious enough. i entered in his p.o. address into the database and it brought up two complaints against his box which were filed with the postal inspector. i immediately informed this person ,unfortunately he didn't take heed to my warning. i would think that since MBE is privately owned it wouldn't fall under the same federal guidelines as the post office. i'm sure MBE keeps their own records but aren't required to disclose that information because it would be protected under the privacy act. however it's a tough call since most of the deliveries to MBE are made by the USPO which is federally regulated.

the open records act has allowed attorneys like myself access to a lot of information ,but on a discretionary basis.

i hope this helps. take care,BILL

Good informative reply Bill.
Also customs seizures are recorded in a database.
Each is added on to that POBox/name regardless if a raid
is done or not.
