Could ESD be charged with a federal crime?

[watson]

seems an ex-reporter in Philadelphia will be charged with one count of unauthorized access to a computer system, related to the federal investigation of whether Mendte hacked the private e-mails of former colleague Alycia Lane.

It appears that Mr. Mendte had perused the open email account of Ms. lane and then viewed the emails for days and months after obtaining her password both without her permission, which is a federal crime....

Didn't East Side Dave view the emails of Earl Douglas without his permission???? I would think Dave's activity is most certainly illegal. It's an invasion of privacy, without consent. If it's not a criminal violation (which it may well be), it's at the least a civil violation.
uh oh!!!

Is it a federal crime to mail hate mail?

Is it a federal crime to mail hate mail?

only if you put weed in the envelope and send it across state lines.

[MisterSmith]

Completely different issues. Mendte [allegedly] got into Lane's email account and sent copies of incriminating emails to management and media outlets (and I think the cops, although I can't back that up). It could be seen as a major violation in many areas (corporate policy, legal, etc).

Although what Dave did was not smart or acceptable, it is nowhere near what Mendte did. Dave was just being a busy-body.

ESD could be charged with a fecal crime.

Not sure sodomizing oneself is a crime

Difference:

Earl left his computer open and unattended.

Mendte put a keylogger on Alycia's computer and found out her passwords and hacked it. That's where the "crime" is coming from. Mendte got into Alycia's personal information email. Dave was in Earl's work account.

Nice try though.

[DarkHippie]

Unless its for smoking weed :(

[Voreskin]

i don't think a judge would put Dave away, he would get off on an insanity plea as soon as he walked into the court room.

[Sweet_Ness]

dave would have to be proven 'fit' to stand trial first

[jlehane3]

:wacko: :innocent:Crazed may wish to fall on the mercy of the court and introduce F___Tw_T the clown video as evidence of temporary clownity. Here's Dave's biggest fan on Mars.... http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a221/jlehane3/BigMarsScreamerPostbigContrast.jpg :clap::king:

[ahhdurr]

Yes!

[BigReggie]

The only crime Dave has committed is being too awesome too much.

Unless being a firecrotch is a crime?

[earlsgmaclit]

it's impossible to charge a white man with a crime against a black asexual? isn't it?

[Tears]

"retard" isn't a federal crime afaik

I believe bestiality is a crime. ESD has mentioned getting rid of Strummer. Is he afraid the dog will reveal his secret? Check the dog for peanut butter breath.
