UK Controlled Delivery and Adverse Inference

All the advice on controlled delivery essentially seems to be STFU and ask for a lawyer but in the UK refusing to answer questions seems like it can get you in trouble if the police make an adverse inference. So my question is provided your Opsec is good and there's nothing linking you to the package other than name & address would you be better off to just deny all knowledge of any package rather than being silent? Also I'm guessing CDs only happen for bulk amounts, is that a decent assumption? TIA

That's why we tossed your tea in the bay. Have fun gobbling the queen's balls.

IDK the fish&chips law over there, but it can't be illegal to receive mail you didn't want. If someone ties heroin to a lawn dart and sticks it in your spine, you aren't trafficking heroin.

I'm interested in this also.

I've never heard of a single controlled delivery in the UK, certainly not for personal amounts. I just don't think its a thing here really.

If you keep it UK-UK theres no form of routine post searching that goes on and so theres basically a zero percent chance of you being caught.

The worst that can happen for personal amounts is you'll get a love letter asking if you'd like it back.

As far as Im aware plausible deniability is a reasonable argument in the UK, but u/know_the_law_UK normally has good answers for these kinds of things and will probably know more than me.
