In Campbell, Wisconsin, political retaliation has sunk to a new low.
Police Chief Tim Kelemen just closed a plea deal for using local Tea Party leader Greg Luce’s personal information to sign him up for gay dating websites, pornography websites, and – the icing on the cake – HealthCare.gov.
These actions could fall under the definition of identity theft, which carries serious penalties. Depending on the severity, the fraudulent use of another’s identifying information could earn up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Why did the police chief flagrantly break the public’s trust? Over a political disagreement.
Kelemen and Luce had ongoing conflict about the Tea Party’s rights to hold signs on an interstate overpass bridge. The police department ordered members to stop, citing safety concerns, but the activists held the signs to be an exercise of free speech. Kelemen was disturbed by a flood of calls and emails to the police department by Tea Party supporters, so he attacked Kelemen where it would hurt – his reputation.
As punishment for his “bizarre act of vengeance,” Kelemen received one misdemeanor count of unlawful use of a computerized communication system. If he serves 40 hours of community service and sees a mental-health counselor, the charges will be dismissed in two years....

If a Tea Partier stole a cop’s personal info and signed him up on a queer site would he get a slap on the wrist and 40 hours of community service?
Doesn’t this fall under the cyber stalking laws?
... personal information to sign him up for gay dating websites
I’m thinking a dark ally and Louisville Slugger fest...
Just say’en...
The Tea Partier would likely find that the email address was already in use on most gay dating sites. . . except for the “My Little Pony” Fans Gay Dating site.
Some things are just too gay, even for gays. . . .(evil grin)
“and – the icing on the cake – HealthCare.gov. “
Well there is low; and then there is really low.
He sure looks unhappy for being so gay.
Homos are nuts!!! Literally!
MISDEMEANOR????? REALLY??? Omg,,,if this was the other way around, the Tea Party guy would be in PRISON for YEARS!!!
Who is that?? The POLICE CHIEF???
If he used NCIC or DAVID then he should have lost his job first and foremost
Not if you’re a leftist, anti-Tea Party, “metrosexual,” police chief.
I don’t think that David minded very much that he used him.
If he sees a mental health practitioner doesn’t he become a barred individual to carry and own a firearm?
As a child, I had inherent respect for all LEO’s - until they proved otherwise. Now I have inherent disdain and suspicion of them - until they prove otherwise. Rarely do they….
Should be D.A.V.I.D.
It’s a misuse of police equipment and the publics trust and he should be fired .
Democrats are far thinkers for the most part. I suspect Chief Keleman was really doing a little preventive maintenance for the local Democrats. An instant “issue” if Greg Luce should decide to run for office sometime down the road. An issue that should play well with low information voters. A fast growing voter bloc.
