In protecting my partners' access to a delivered package needed for a court case, I was faced with police threats of arrest brought on by the lying of both the delivery person and their manager in the Marina del Rey, California office. The package was clearly marked "No signature required" and "Saturday delivery."

I am Jewish and observe the Sabbath on Saturday. The delivery person insisted that I sign for the package, reinforced by their manager. Signing ones' name on the Sabbath is considered work and as such forbidden by Jewish religious law. When I told the delivery person that I would not sign for the package because of religious reasons which I explained, they conspired with their manager to get the police to forcefully enter my office/residence and under threat of arrest, force me to surrender the package after it had already been delivered.
