Hi all,
What really concerns me is whats stopping LE from becoming a SR vendor, raking up great feedback and in the process, building a database of all the buyers then trying to bust them for importing/buying drugs online?
Sure many SR buyers will deny the package is even theirs using the standard guidelines, keeping their mouth shut and speed dialing their lawyer, but for a small number, some SR users will shit their pants and spill the beans.
Is this just another "deal with it" or what?

That kind of feels like a form of entrapment.
Also, turn around and put a citizens arrest on them for selling drugs to people. Not like they don't mass distribute the shit anyways to countries to create problems for them to then fix.
This is a pretty legitimate question though....

CIA = Cocaine Importation Agency... as much as it sounds funny, its true.
Cops are dirty and use filthy tricks all the time to entrap and arrest people, if SR is such a hard case for them to crack, I can only imagine them seething over any idea of how to bust people anonymously.
In saying that though, for all we care, it was the door mouse that ordered the drugs from the house, not the owner. This is why internet and PC security is so important as to not leave any trace for LE to follow if a raid occurs. And also keeping your house/apartment drug free in the first place, which is hard for addicts or sloppy people.
Right now I probably have like 10 items for which I can get done badly, probably not worth jail time in Australia but a hefty fine/community service etc. I will definitely get rid of them or mask them before doing any SR activity.

For it to be entrapment, you would have to prove that the LE did something to entice the suspect into performing a criminal act that they wouldn't have done without the LE getting involved. They have sting operations all the time for drugs, prostitution, minors buying alcohol/tobacco, kiddie porn, Chris Hansen, etc.
The point to focus on is whether you believe that the resources that would be invested into such a sting for this environment would be approved by the powers that be in order to try to convict an end user, and that's a determination that no one else can make for you, you weigh the risks of whatever you're going to do, and you decide whether the gain is worth the risk, and you try to mitigate the risk as much as possible
