"End-of-story."
Admissibility of evidence being a rather large pillar of most Western legal systems, you might not want to end it quite like that.

OK then how about if a plot was stumbled apon by someone onto a person that was going to commit a murder, or had a truck full of all the components of a bomb and had a map with the whitehouse circled on the front seat... do you ignore it and say "I should respect that person's privacy"? Or report it.
He should be arrested and undergo due process not be allowed to roam free and mouth off about the 'big brother' computer store down the road to all and asunder.
And of course it's nothing in the same VEIN as this Tim but your view about privacy and computers might be coloured just a bit after what happened to you at work.

He should be arrested, yes. I'm just saying that it's a bad idea to be so readily dismissive of privacy laws. It's a small step from "well, he was committing a crime" to "well, he might have been committing a crime".

Oh, come on Tim. We all want to hear the stories of how you've been caught downloading hot goat-to-butt action while pretending to use Excel.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I just got word that Ian Mole just received 20 days in prison plus 2 years probation.
That's it?
Wonder what was going through the judge's mind when he imposed that sentence.
There is supposed to be an article floating around, once I find it, I'll post it.

Yeesh. Wonderful to see that the U.S. doesn't have a monopoly on the clueless judiciary.
