Miami, FL asked in Consumer Law and Criminal Law for Florida

Q: Fedex delivered me multiple packages that I was helping a friend with. 1 wrong package.

Fedex delivered me multiple packages that I was helping a friend with. Within the 5 packages I received, one wasn't supposed to be delivered to me but I didn't realize it because they all looked the same. have them all to my friend when he came and he traveled back to his state.

Today the Fedex driver comes and asks me about the package. I didn't really look at all the names on the packages because here I'm just thinking their all for him.

The lady tells me that Homeland Security told her that she needs the package or they will come to my home and issue me a warrant. What can I do? Can this even happen?

How is any of this my fault..

A: Don't necessarily believe what the FedEx driver told you about a search warrant. It's really none of her business. But if Homeland Security does get a judge to issue a warrant, simply tell them, as you indicate, that you don't have the package. Be ready for them to search your premises.
