There is a difference (sometimes) between what some find unpalatable and what is illegal. Malicious prosecution for non crimes is not something I find palatable

There were crimes involved here. They just just weren't worth the federal prosecutor's time to take to court.

  What crime? I can't think of any laws broken. Certainly not the CFAA and it is legal to take pictures in public places.

    It's not legal to install spyware (or anything, really) on computers you don't own.

      It's probably not legal to install spyware on computers you do own without consent of the observed.

        It would be nice if this were true.

        Yeah I meant "consent" in the not-real-consent sense of a EULA.

        No consent at all is required, by federal law. State laws may differ.
