There's actually Supreme Court caselaw saying that USPS drivers cannot be charged with anything while working. Sovereign immunity baby. That cop ain't getting nothing.

Personal anecdote as a carrier: a 4 year carrier was pulled over and had warrants while delivering. Supervisor came and collected the mail and then carrier was cuffed and jailed overnight. Worked the next day and never lost his job.
