Does that constitute intent?
- jellicle 14y agoThe "intent" is "intent to access a computer". It's not "intent to commit a crime". If I am unconscious, and someone lifts my hand up and uses my fingers to type in a password, I didn't have intent to access a computer - I am not guilty of a crime. But if I intentionally struck keys on my keyboard, knowing that I was striking keys on my keyboard - that's intent. I do NOT have to know that it's a crime or intend to commit a crime. Some crimes do have specific intent elements, where the person must be proved to have intended some specific result. This isn't one of them.
