The United States Postal office has their own police force called the “United States Postal Inspection Service” (USPIS) .
The oldest operating federal law enforcement agency, its goal is to protect the postal service, its employees, and its infrastructure. Their jurisdiction only covers crimes that affect the use of mail, the postal system, or postal employees.
They are in the surveillance business too – and it goes far beyond the stated scope of their operations.
The US Postal Service’s law enforcement arm is monitoring the social media activity of Americans to share “inflammatory” content across government agencies.
“Analysts with the USPIS Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored significant activity regarding planned protests occurring internationally and domestically on March 20, 2021,” read a government bulletin. “Locations and times have been identified for these protests, which are being distributed online across multiple social media platforms. Mar 20 was the date set for the World Wide Rally for Freedom and Democracy, an umbrella protest involving many anti-government groups and movements.
The bulletin includes screenshots of users planning such protests over various social media sites. While the bulletin justified this surveillance ” it admits that “[no] intelligence is available to suggest the legitimacy of these threats.””iCOP analysts are monitoring these social media channels for any potential threats stemming from the scheduled protests and will disseminate intelligence updates as needed.
When asked about the USPS responded with a generic statement about the importance of their law enforcement arm, and ignored that these activities are outside their stated jurisdiction. “The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is the primary law enforcement, crime prevention, and security arm of the U.S. Postal Service. The Internet Covert Operations Program is a function within the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which assesses threats to Postal Service employees and its infrastructure by monitoring publicly available open source information.”
. “There are so many other federal agencies that could do this, I don’t understand why the post office would be doing it. — you’ve got FBI, Homeland Security. I don’t understand why the government would go to the Postal Service for examining the internet for security issues.”
