He’s facing civil repercussions. He, as a worker of the city, disseminated information to the press that reveals undercover police reports, witness names and testimonies, and various other sensitive information. That may not be illegal, but if he broke a contract or other agreement then it’s expected that he faces repercussions.
The city may be in the wrong for downplaying the severity, but he’s in the wrong for directly handing over the hacked information he has to journalists.
- axus 2y agoDid the journalists publish or share the details that could harm witnesses or investigations? Our default assumption is that journalists keep these kind of details confidential and secure from spreading... more than the city did. I think they city would need to actually believe witnesses or investigations were actually harmed, and I don't mean picking whatever belief is most convenient for them. Maybe they do believe it. If they can prove it, they should win their suit.
