    You just gave me an idea: could USPS be sued for aiding theft and patent infringement, just like pharmacies were sued for distributing opioids?

        There are thousands of lawsuits filed against US government each year. No luck involved but a large law firm wouldn’t take cases that would be a waste of time, so they’d have to evaluate the chances and be motivated to fight on behalf of thousands of businesses. No different than the big law firms that won the opioid cases.

      USPS does not know the contents of the boxes delivered, unlike the pharmacies in your example.

      Mens rea, if they dont know they cant be sued. Their prohibit illegal items so its purely on the sender. Pharmacies was a completely different story and thats on them because they knew the harm and actively made it worse on purpose.
