Let's be fair. They also set up the occasional drunk driving checkpoint.I don't buy it. Everybody knows the MA state police don't do anything but highway details and speed traps on the pike.

Or give his name and address to that manatee and let nature take it's coursefind the name & addy of the UPS guy and bang his wife
But, do they have 2 or 3 annoying people asking every new member to go green after insulting them?New poster in “ask a cop” thread: “hi, is it legal to pass a slow moving tractor on a solid yellow line?”
Mass cops: “f*** your mother!”
New poster: “I’m sorry, did I say something wrong?”
Masscops: banned for insulting members.
It’s not a matter of needing thick skin, just totally avoid the shit hole site as they don’t want new members. Even here we would likely get banned if we treated new members half as bad.
That site is a joke even among cops in MA. The 3 cops that actually post there are the department shit bags that nobody likes.
Of course not.But, do they have 2 or 3 annoying people asking every new member to go green after insulting them?
If you have a attached garage - go into the garage, lock house door. Open garage door while presenting a non-threatening posture. Be polite, be careful what you say, and do not grant voluntary admission to your house. This prevents "foot in the door", "we thought we saw something" and "we had to enter because we felt we were in danger".So what is the smart response to police showing up at your door?
Be polite, ask if they have a warrant to enter, ask if you are being detained, and if the answer is no to both questions, politely wish them a good day, and close the door?
When I had dogs, the mailman (er, letter carrier) had a box of treats in his truck. The dog figured this out and would always pull his leash towards any mail truck, and hop right on the truck.My UPS guy carries a a 365 and my mailman used to leave a treat on the box of "gold" for my dog. Montana Gold, but still gold.
One time while walking the dog, a mailman got out of his truck and gave the dog a treat. Now anytime we pass any delivery truck she tries to jump inside to see if there are treats in thereWhen I had dogs, the mailman (er, letter carrier) had a box of treats in his truck.

What I heard was "close the interior door before climbing out your bulkhead* and walking (nonthreateningly) down the driveway to meet them outside."As long as nothing of interest is in the garage
What caution can you take? Ordering ammo online to be delivered to a Mass address is legal.I hate to post vague, 4th-hand sounding info, but a close friend of mine (valid LTC holder) was just visited by 2 MA state police officers at his house after he had a few thousand rounds delivered from a common online retailer. He didn't let them in nor did they have a warrant, but apparently they are getting tipped off by UPS as to these deliveries and "following up".
Use caution when having stuff delivered to a MA address!
"What's that? We can't hear you. Did you say you're having a medical emergency?" [readies battering ram]Why go outside?
Maura troll trying to get information about online vendors and Mass deliveries.
Somebody go over to masscops and ask about it. Make sure you're clear in that you're not a cop when you ask. It makes them much friendlier and more likely to answer your questions.
The legal court system has proven the USPS is heavily involved in election fraud.Who said anything was illegal? People shit their pants over an empty case, im sure someone at ups, usps would feel good about turning in someone.
If they had a battering ram with them, they were coming in anyways. They didn't have one, just two cops at the door, not a SWAT team. So open a window and talk through the window to them."What's that? We can't hear you. Did you say you're having a medical emergency?" [readies battering ram]
I mean, you're right. But that sounds less dramatic. And we love our drama here.If they had a battering ram with them, they were coming in anyways. They didn't have one, just two cops at the door. So open a window and talk through the window to them.
Wait... wut?This guy I know, his friends brother is a driver for UPS. Apparently once a week they are given a briefing on how to recognize packages that may contain items that are illegal in MA.
The weekly briefing mostly covers how to recognize high risk firearms and accessory shippers, certain shapes of boxes(rifles) and extreme weight(ammo) Drivers are also told to ask seemingly naïve questions in an effort to get the recipient to actual tell them what is in the package, even go so far as to pretend they are a gun owner to gain trust.
They then flag the delivery for review by a supervisor, the supervisor then follows up with the terminal manager who then contacts a special rep from the State Police.
It's pretty messed up.
I never know when you’re serious. Is this sarcasm?This guy I know, his friends brother is a driver for UPS. Apparently once a week they are given a briefing on how to recognize packages that may contain items that are illegal in MA.

It definitely isn't sarcasm.I never know when you’re serious. Is this sarcasm?
