Wow, guess it's a good thing our courts love corrupt cops more than they hate everyone else?
What this guy did is one of the very few things that someone should actually get hit with the CFAA for. He abused access to police databases as a cop but he's off the hook because even though he was explicitly not allowed to do so, he was able to (as in, the system did not intend to prevent it). I guess if that's what it takes to narrow this bad law, fine!
It sure looks like it. I wonder if we can get any other unjust laws overturned this way? With a single FBI sting that tricks a cop into smoking weed on camera, we could end the drug war!
