There must be different statutes to charge under. That cop infringed the civil liberties of the persons who came up in the search at a minimum.

- vinceguidry 11y agoYeah, I find it weird that they used CFAA. Maybe that law carries harsher penalties than the others.
- mannykannot 11y agoPerhaps it is an example of prosecutorial overreach, and I wonder if the judges' ruling is, in part, intended to make a stand on that issue. FWIW (and IANAL), I would have preferred to see this person charged only for the unauthorized data access, with his purpose taken into consideration (negatively) in sentencing.
