Thank you for your continued support through highly informational emails and interactions.
I desire to have your opinion on the following matter.
On September 21st 2020 I was pulled over in a national park by a US Park ranger.
He attempted to issue or gain acceptance of a presentment ticket. I politely refused to sign and refused enter contract.
There was no argument from the park ranger about my refusal to sign.
He next tried to present me with copies of the contract and said that I must receive them. I again politely refused and did not take receipt.
At which time I was informed by the two Park rangers of potential damage and violence that could result if I did not take receipt. When asked if I understand, I said no (and I did not mention this to the park rangers but I said no because I over stand them).
So basically I kept refusing contract and saying no and they went away after telling me they would just mail it to me and if I didn't pay it a warrant would be issued for my arrest.
First you should know that for all commerce since 2006 I have used a PO box. I do not receive mail at any physical address.
The driver's license has the PO box as well as the registered vehicles.
I had been checking this PO box a bit more regularly as I anticipated a certified mail presentment but it has not arrived at the po box
On October 31st at a property that I only visit, but is titled in the name FIRST LAST, there was a certified mail envelope from the national Park in the USPS mailbox addressed to me. I'm a bit confused of why it was addressed to this physical address...
On the back was the perforated remnants of PS form 3811 domestic return receipt.
When I checked the certified mail number at the USPS website it claimed that it was delivered to an agent.
I have never signed for this certified mail. While thinking about this over the weekend I came to the realization that the USPS mailbox is likely considered a USPS agent.
I'm wondering how you think I should proceed to challenge this or if I simply write refused on it and leave in the usps agents (mailbox) control. It's the same idea as going to the post office and refusing it at the commerce / teller counter in my mind.
The DMM domestic mail manual states that certified mail that has been signed for can still be refused if unopened, but must be wrapped in a new envelope and postage paid. But again I have never signed for it or taken receipt.
Part of me thinks that this is just something that the local post office does for "convenience" in rural delivery areas so I'm thinking that there may be a process for that refusal locally.
My plan for today is to go to that post office and inquire about how to refuse, all while leaving the certified mail presentment in the agent's control.
Photos attached, I digitally redacted the physical address.
Happy to discuss this over the phone as well and am available today. # redacted.
