Makes no sense. If a cop can see evidence of an illegal act through an open windows. in a car or a residence, they can take action. There were several busts years ago when baggies were left out in the open.
I understand that cops and the CIA (j/k) use lots of service/delivery/repair/post men to gather information.
Just don't understand what is different from a drivers license search or a phone number search to looking up an address in MLS, the tax rolls or any other source of Google info.
Of course, if the O’bots love Google and let them search our private info, there may be something to this ...
You could still stop a letter carrier to find out where an address was ~ but if you inquired of where Billybob was located that's a different sort of question.
Guar-an-tee if there's something a defense lawyer can make use of to get off a guilty client, he'll do it ~ search and seizure is an open field for those guys.
