USPS

U.S. Postal Inspection Service has taken down a website that sold millions of dollars in counterfeit postage labels, according to a report from the Postal Employee Network. The operation targeted a site supplying fake shipping labels used to mail parcels without paying legitimate postage, a scheme that costs carriers like USPS significant revenue.

The United States Postal Service is reportedly outfitting its mail trucks with cameras that could function as mobile surveillance units, recording streets and neighborhoods on regular delivery routes. With one of the largest vehicle fleets in the country, the move raises questions about how much footage is collected and how it might be shared, and privacy advocates are likely to push back.

The US Postal Service plans to mount dashboard cameras on its delivery trucks that will scan roads, signs and surrounding infrastructure, with the agency describing the programme as a step toward community safety. The announcement is drawing attention from privacy advocates and reporters, who question why a mail agency is collecting street-level imagery and what will happen to the data.
