Title: CD question and reality
Post by: zzzzzzzzzzzz on June 20, 2013, 03:16 pm
Knowing that plausible deniability is what we buyers are leaning on......are there ANY reports of someone being served a CD and declining to sign?  I know that's common knowledge, not to sign but has that actually been tested by anyone?

If it really is as simple as "dont ever sign anything" then I would expect to find a few stories here and there where this was put into practice.  I've searched and searched but can't find anything.

Anyone know of any REAL cases where this saved the buyer?

Read about one on here the other day actually, can't remember the link though.

Odds of them doing a CD for a small (personal) amount: minimal
If they do, fuck 'em. Don't sign. Don't admit to shit.

Odds are, they aren't going to waste the time, money, man hours, forensics, etc to charge someone with a half oz of weed or a few pills. And even if they do decide to go that route and you haven't admitted to shit, the burden of proof is on them to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you actually placed the order and/or had knowledge of it being sent. Anyone can send anything to anyone else in the mail without them knowing it.

Now, if you're moving into re-distribution amounts, that's a totally different story. But you wouldn't be on here asking about CD's if you were moving that  kind of weight...you'd already have your plan a, b, c, d and e in effect.

I am still curious if it's been tested or not.   I've never read a story like "I was served a CD, didn't sign, and they went away" but maybe they are out there and I just haven't found them.   

I have, however, read lots of stories of people speculating about it.  Everybody pretty much understands it and how it is supposed to work.  But does it really work that way?   I think if they are trying to serve a CD then they aren't going to walk away empty handed.   I just can't imagine little piggies coming (with a warrant and CD in hand) being turned around and sent home because of a refusal to sign.

I think, more than likely, you'd be arrested anyway and have to fight it out in court.   For many on SR, an arrest has the same result as a conviction (fucked up life) so this seems like a topic worth discussing.

Yeah. There was an AMA on reddit /r/silkroad recently of a college kid getting a CD. Search for it, don`t feel like linking.
