Story: Tsunami 'hacker' conviction worries experts
Posted by: Anonymous (Monday 14 November 2005, 2:37 PM)
It is interesting to me that unless you are a known thief, if you walk down a street trying doors - whilst suspicious and probably of interest to the police - you commit no crime, unless you take action thereafter to take advantage of any insecurity you find.
Doing the same over the internet appears to immediately criminalise the activity however. I suspect this speaks volumes for the lack of understanding and knowledge from many sectors of the law enforcement community in the UK, and of the justiciary. A truly stupid judgement which brings into disrepute the entire CMA.
