Georgia K9 police discover $172,000 worth of fentanyl tablets during routine search at package delivery hub

[FoxNews] Georgia police said similar searches have turned up methamphetamine and marijuana, but this was the first time they found fentanyl

Authorities in Georgia discovered nearly 600 grams of fentanyl worth $172,000 on Thursday.

The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says the concealed package was discovered during a routine check for narcotics by the K9 unit at a Gainesville package delivery hub.

"The K9 was taking part in an open-air search of packages arriving at the delivery hub when he alerted on a package from California being shipped to Oakwood." The Hall County Sheriff's Office said in a post.

Inside the package were 575 grams of fentanyl in tablet form, deputies say, worth about $172,500.

At this time, police have not identified the sender or the recipient of the package.

No arrests have been made.

In the past, deputies say they have pinpointed methamphetamine and marijuana attempting to be shipped from delivery businesses within the county, however, this is the first packaged that has been found containing fentanyl.

I have mixed feelings about this.
YES! I am overjoyed they found the Illegal Drugs and use the same process to stop explosives from getting on to Airplanes and / or for stopping other harmful actions.

But conducting massive blanket, at will, Warrantless Searches or Searches without Probable Cause bothers me. Knowing, how a Government toe in the door increases to wider adapted use over time.

Hell, We are already seeing Gov. SWAT Team raiding houses because a person knew a person, that knew a person and supports MAGA.

#2 They need a warrant to open first class mail (if they want any admissible evidence). That which is classified as commercial/bulk does not derive the same protection.

#3 Still is warrantless search, the item will have a FROM Address and To address. While likely FAKE Sender and Vacant house delivery.

The Gov. having got this approved can and will likely start testing the deeper waters.

Like I said, congrats on the Bust, but I worry about the creeping use it likely will have under the LSD's.

Eg. We already know the Fed's have been scanning Mae-West and Mae-East I-Traffic and etc. for about 18+ years for keywords.

We know the Internet never forgets.
