Yes it is illegal to steal other peoples coupon's out of the mail. The mail is delivered to you and addressed to you if anyone other than the person that is suppose to receive the mail gets it without permissions it is stealing.
There is no general name or word for the offender - however the statute describes the offense as "INTERCEPTING" the mail.
its kind of complicated at first but with help you will understand. ok fist
up to 12 months in prison
it depends on the type of mail. if it is confidential then it is. if its just a regular letter in the mail, then why not. but its better u do not open it because it is not yours
While there may well be state laws that cover this, the big problem is that it is a violation of Federal Law (US Postal Regulations) to "intercept" mail addressed to others.
Federal laws apply to all states. Nothing overrides a federal law. Example: marijuana is legal in the state of Washington. however, you can still be arrested and prosecuted at the federal level. Anything pertaining to federal such as mail, mail carriers, post office building are all protected under federal laws. You would serve more time and pay a heavier fine for opening someone's mail than for stealing the most expensive items from a jewelry store.
