Re: for those that use "WIRELESS", this could happen to you

Good point. To be closer to the scenario I should have said they started the car and used my radio or something like that. It is hard to make the comparison but what I was trying to get out of it is if you leave things unsecured you expect anything to happen. Same with your internet access. If you choose to broadcast it out to everyone and don't secure it you should expect it to be used by anyone. I am not saying it is legal but there is not much that can be done other than an officer just happening to stumble upon some poor honest sap that admits it.

Coincidentally, the cafe owner that Peterson was leeching WiFi off of didn't even realize that what Peterson was doing was a crime at the time. Neither did the police officer. "I had a feeling a law was being broken, but I didn't know exactly what," Sparta police chief Andrew Milanowski told the TV station.

the more i think about this the more that i am inclined to think, "this cop was looking to make an arrest on that day to impress someone or build their own ego, it would have mattered what a person was doing or did
