The SCOTUS today AGAIN slapped down a Governmental overreach! This time for a cop who ran a licence plate tag number for a friend and received 18 months in prison. "It was an important one because the government in recent years has been applying the law quite broadly, arguing that users “exceed unauthorized access” (and thus face federal criminal liability) whenever they use information from a computer for an impermissible reason. In this case, for example, the police officer, Nathan Van Buren, lawfully accessed computerized license-plate records, but his use of the information for a private purpose led to the federal criminal prosecution that the court has now rejected."

The SCOTUS is there to protect our rights against Governmental overreach, JUST LIKE WE'VE EXPERIENCED HERE!
