P.O. Box question?

Kinda lurking here have been for awhile haven't ordered anything because I don't have my own place my question is if I have a p.o. and I have stuff sent to it will they rip my family's house apart. btw I'm not a teenager I can wait and I intend to do so I've just been wondering because I can't find a article that mentions this

Make sure the stealth is on point, and stay domestic if you're super worried. PO boxes are fine to use for the most part.

According to this, you being arrested for drugs at the PO box could lead to your residence being searched. However, I don't know of any cases where this has actually happened. If there's no evidence of wrongdoing at your family's residence then I don't think they'd be able to get a search warrant for it, even if you got arrested.

When LE gets involved in shipping drugs to PO boxes and actually spend the time and resources to stake it out and wait for someone, I've always read that they arrest the person right when they confirm that the person took possession and before they can get in their car and drive off. There was a story about a DNM buyer who bought 1k xanax bars (iirc) to a PO box and it was intercepted by LE and they staked out the box. The guy showed up and took possession, then the cops started to arrest him but he made it back to his truck and tried to drive away through a burger king parking lot before getting caught and arrested.

If they arrested you for drugs while you were at your family's house then they could definitely search it for more drugs, but the logistics of waiting for you to come to a PO box and get the package then arresting you is hard enough, it would be amplified like crazy if they waited for you to get the package then had to follow you until you went home (and hope you don't go to walmart or anywhere else, or get rid of the drugs, or many other variables) then arrest you. No one is going to go through that trouble unless they really specifically want to search your family's house.

they can easily search your home if you are using a PO box and if you are found with drugs they will have probably cause and/or a warrant

what a PO box does for you is it let's your parents or anyone else who you live with have deniability of what you were ordering

in a way it protects them, not you or your home
