New July 1 ‘USPS’ law with $2,500 fine & up to 5 years in jail will add extra mail protection for millions of Americans![]() LAWMAKERS are cracking down on a key mail issue with a new USPS law that threatens violators with $2,500 fines and even jail time. USPS customers should handle letters and packages carefully, or they could have both state and federal prosecutors coming for them. The new law is coming into effect on July 1, and it will affect everyone who lives in Virginia. Under the new legislation, it's considered a state felony if you steal or tamper with mail sent through the USPS. This is already considered a felony on the federal level, so the new law gives law enforcement an extra layer of punishment for criminals. "The goal was to mirror the federal law so that prosecutors had another tool in their tool belt," Senator Saddam Salim, a Democrat who co-authored the law, told CBS affiliate WTVR. The law came after a spate of mail thefts that plagued Virginians and left them missing bills or without essential Social Security checks. In March, four people were arrested for running a "mail theft and bank fraud ring" where they yanked keys from mailmen and plundered boxes.
