Postal Letter

Is a Postal worker considered to be a "Public Servant"?

For a legal standpoint, is a United States Postal Worker considered to be a "Public Servant"? If yes, would interferance with this "Public Servant's" efforts to report a potential "criminal act" (perpetrated at his place of employment), be viewed as RESTRAINT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS DUTIES? Perhaps I should have said would it have qualified as RETALIATION against this "Public Servant" trying to do his duty to report the criminal act?

1. That's a pretty broad brush you are trying to paint that with,.
2. The term "public servant" has no legal definition and no legal significance. If the postal worker wants to report a crime, and someone is interfering with that effort, whether that interference amounts to a crime will turn on several factors, but not on the definition of a "public servant."
