Re: Analysis of confiscated laptop will tell all I wonder how many many hours and how much money its going to take to prosecute a guy for a theft of a few cents worth of service(assuming he only used the access point for a couple of hours or less). |

It is called "MAKING AN EXAMPLE" of him. A cautionary tale. The arrest has already resulted in at least 3 news items here at BBR and in many newspapers. It is the same reason the IRS always makes big splashy arrests in Feb and March every year.

Folks, it is all about intent here. If the guy was just browsing the web then I would be surprised if the charges stick. Being that he was lurking outside of someones home I am fairly certain that he was up to something else. It is common for spammers to find open access point in which to send. This is what the AG is going to have to prove which is I am sure why they seized the latop. There is more than likely much more to the story than what is in the article. |
