It depends on the circumstances. It is a criminal offence for anyone to interfere with Post Office mail between dispatch and delivery, although there are circumstances (flooding, being eaten by vermin) where post is damaged and has to be resealed by Post Office staff. Once mail has been delivered to its destination, then it is a matter which has to be sorted out between the persons living at that address. Clearly it is a gross interference with a person's privacy for mail addressed to one party to be opened by another party, but there may be a reasonable explanation (such as all the males/females in one family having the same initial!) Where there are grounds to believe that the intrusion was deliberate, with a view to stealing the contents (as with giro cheques, credit cards), then it is a matter for the police and one would anticipate criminal prosecution for theft. Where, however, it is a simple invasion of privacy, it would amount to the tort of trespass to goods, which is a civil matter and although notionally one for which one person could take another to court, in practice is too trivial for this to happen.
There are, of course, circumstances where a person will have, or will be deemed to have, permission to open another person's letters. Parents, for example, open mail addressed to very small children who are too young to read; people with certain disabilities (such as blindness) will ask others to open their letters for them and within a company it is standard practice for junior members of staff to open all post which is delivered and pass it on to senior members of staff save where it is quite obviously private and confidential.

Oh yes it is! Absolutely 100% illegal to open mail that is not addressed to you. You can report this to the police.

Not without your permission, at least in the United States.

It is an illegal for some else to open another person letter.

It is illegal for someone to open letters that are not addressed to them. You can however ask other people to open your letters which would make it legal.


audrey_o
It is most certainly illegal.

As far as I'm aware, letters have to be open by the addressee, unless express permission is given to a third party.


london lady

No. It is not legal.

Yes, surely no one should do that unless they are given permission.

It is illegal to open or discard any mail not addressed to you.
Especially outside America, because a letter is considered to have reached you if it is sent. Just like ignorance of the law is no excuse, so is ignorance of a letter. Anyone who discards another's mail therefore is viewed very dimly by the authorities.
In America they have process servers and notary publics. Yet still consider mail tampering a serious crime.

NO ! NO ! NO !!

IT is neither;

Legal,

Moral,

Nor Ethical,

Unless, specifically ,asked to do so by the recipient

>^,,^<


lefang
it depends on the circumstances, an example would be if a relative had died, it is the intention behind the opening that quantifies the legality. an example would be if the intention was to gain a pecunary advanage, ie indusrial spying ect. LF
