My younger brother (19yrs old) went to the NAVY last year. His mailing address is at my grandmothers house. She gets his mail, opens it & if she sees that he's spending more money than SHE wants him to, she will cut up his account information (passwords for online access) and his debit cards. When I ask her for his mail is, so that I can mail it to his current base, she tells me she threw it away! (His address has already been changed to my house, but I want her to pay for this past year she's made my brother starve because she always want to be right and not let my brother grow up and make his own mistakes.) Is there anything I can do legally through the police or the military to stop her from opening and reading his mail so that he can get his bank information and pay bills and eat?

while your grandmother is committing a federal offense against a soldier during wartime. If you have no proof, there is nothing you can do about past offenses. you could try to do some kind of sting operation and set her up. but the police would have to help you with that.

Destroying someone else's mail is a federal offense. However, it seems that your grandmother might not fear anyone actually pressing charges.
I'm a little confused. You say that his mail now goes to your house, but you want to do something to stop her from opening and reading his mail. Didn't the address change solve that?
If she is still getting some of his mail and destroying it, contact the postmaster general, describe your situation, and see what he/she suggests.
Just be sure that you do want your grandmother in serious legal trouble because once you start this ball rolling, you may not be able to stop it.

Yes. You can tell her that opening someone else's mail is a federal offense. If she continues, you can contact the police.

She can be legally sued, not only for mail trashing, but for mail violation. It is in the Constitution of most countries.
