The real reason for this law

The real reason for this law is not so much to look for and catch people using someone else's connection.

It's to have something on the book to charge the perps when evidence is flimsy on what they were really doing. "We can't get 'em on this one, but this one will stick for sure."

Got a leech sitting in his car, you can't call it loitering or jaywalking. No sweat! Get him on freeloading.

The fines ought to be used to fund router security education programs, at least.
