Yep, I wasn’t trying to be controversial to OP by the way, I just know that a lot of people don’t know this. All mailbox’s out by the road must have a break away post. If someone was to run into your brick mailbox and “injure” themselves, they would win if they sued your homeowners insurance. I’ve seen people literally bring guns out to the road as the DOTD contractors demolish their mailboxes so the motor grader can start the ditch slopes, only to find out that it was against the law to be there to begin with.

Maybe it's semantics, or maybe I'm not looking in the right direction, but I don't think a brick mailbox is "illegal." It does appear that the homeowners insurance can be held liable if an injury or worse occurs because of an incident though. My house and whole block is brick mailboxes that were built by the original builders to match each home. I would have to believe permits would be denied and brick mailboxes would be forced to be torn down and homeowners subject to fines if they were illegal.

Understandable.
What a world we live in. When someone else breaks YOUR stuff but YOU get sued because crashed into it? I'd love to meet whoever came up with that.
