[Atrocities]

This one falls squarely under the WTF catagory.
Man Charged With Felony

For Peterson, who's never had a criminal record, the experience has been an eye-opening one.

"All over the TV, all the commercials and whatnot you see, they're all trying to get you to buy all these laptops and things that are wireless," he said. "They're trying to get you to buy this wireless stuff because you can go anywhere and still be connected.

"Well, they don't happen to tell you that it's illegal," he continued. "And I guess obviously you're just supposed to know that."

It's up to the consumer to figure that out, said Hopkins, the prosecuting attorney.

What a chickens**t response.... "It's up to the consumer to figure that out." WTF! So in other words, if we pass an obscure law that not even the lawyers know about, then its your fault that you broke the law.... PAY US or do jail time! What the hell kind of broken system is this that we live under?

But don't look for a flurry of prosecutions anytime soon.

"We're not going to be running stings to go out looking for people who do this," Hopkins said. "But people should be aware that if we come across them, and it is a violation of the statute, then we will enforce the statute."

Oh ya right. They say this hoping to get people off guard. If they can snag this dude for just sitting in his car and get $400.00 then you had better believe they are going to go after others. They just don't want people thinking that they are.
