And uploading 700 kinky pictures of yourself from work is sane?


It's not, and nobody has claimed it is, but I don't expect every city employee to behave sanely.

I do have an expectation of sanity from the law however, which is broken when porn surfing becomes a felony under a law aimed at computer breakins.


But if you read the text of the law in question, it covers a variety of offences including computer breakins. Your perception is that hacking is the focus of the law and it's been misinterpreted to include this other activity, but in fact hacking is only one of several things covered by it.

It's Ohio revised code 2913.04.b: 'Unauthorized use of property - computer, cable, or telecommunication property' and is available here: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2913.04

Am I the only person here who took the trouble go and read it?
