You don't need to study law to know that tampering with the US Mail is a federal crime. Anywho, UPS is not the US Mail but even so, it is not company policy to open packages. That said, if a package is damaged, they usually open it, photograph the damage for insurance proposes and retape the box. So if they ever need to open a box, they will likely just claim it was damaged and you would have an extremely difficult time proving otherwise.. Also not sure how someone can tape something in a 'sleazy way' but I'd love to see that.
