Wouldn't it just piss off (among others) the very people who have the authority to promote the prosecutor to a higher office?
- fotbr 7y agoProsecutor gets to go trumpet a victory over those who would show such disresepect to the law as to try to break into the courthouse itself (or various press releases to similar effect). The "very people who have the authority to promote the prosecutor" are the voters, who, for the most part, do not understand what pen-testing is, or that it exists, or that it is (or can be, when done correctly) a legitimate thing.
