Disgusting officer and prosecutor. There is nothing fair about prosecuting someone using a law that nobody heard of and that was put in place to protect against a different “crime” altogether. It sounds like the locality just needed the guy’s $400. Then the police and prosecutors wonder why they have such a bad reputation, and why people don’t trust them anymore...

I suspect those same police/prosecutors would have argued that it was completely legal to use the unsecured, advertised-as-free internet connection by law enforcement if somehow they used it to gain evidence of some other crime.

After all, it's just radiation of a certain frequency eminating from within, like loud music or heat from a marijuana grow operation. The didn't physically go inside the residence, the radiation was detected outside, from the public street.
