I not a security speaclist, or judge. However you need to consider the whole facts. He said he was tesing to see if the site was real or fake, however no one has mentioned the fact that he changed his story, or alibi.

But another reader argued that Cuthbert's actions were like "walking around trying everyone's front doors and car doors to see which ones are locked...You wouldn't do that, would you?"

Or should that infact be, " going down the shops for a packet of tea", no sorry i was "walking around trying everyone's front doors and car doors to see which ones are locked"

The judge even mentioned because of the lie was why he was taking the action
