[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 2863345, member: 45230"] UPS argued it followed the rules and can only do so much to police what its 1.6 million daily shippers send in sealed packages. "New York's action sought to force UPS to serve in a quasi-law enforcement role which involved monitoring, inspecting and reporting package contents, which is not appropriate for a common carrier," UPS spokesman Steve Gaut said in a statement. "The Court found UPS in full compliance since 2015 and rejected the request for an injunction or appointment of a monitor," Gaut said. "New York abandoned a collaborative system to identify and remove illegal cigarette shipments that worked well for years in favor of a lawsuit to seek a monetary windfall."
