Clearly, the crime being committed was considerably more harmful than the muggings, shootings, rapes, beatings, dealing, stealing, intimidation and vandalism that takes place in today's urban environments.
I fully support the PCSO's involved for their courage and instinct in tackling this dangerous criminal. The sooner these people are taken from the streets, the better off we'll all be. -

Rubbish isn't it...
This country seems to protect the stupid and penalise the intelligent.
I take they view that if someone is stupid enough to leave their WifI unsecured then then deserve all they get. Who let the plebs have computers anyway?

Didn't some company start broadcasting a free wireless signal across London a while back (WIMAX was it?)? If so he could say he thought he was logging onto a free network that he was legally entitled to use as there was no security and nothing stopping him from connecting.Comment

Bit of a thick tw@t isn't he?
"Excuse me sir, are you sitting in your car connecting illegally to an unsecured computer network?"
"Yes officer"
"Come with me please".
What a dork.Comment

Sitting in a car outside someone's house using a laptop is a bit sus, don't you think? He could have been trying to intercept their signal and get hold of personal details, or maybe trying to hack into their computer.
I think they did the right thing in nicking him. So there!Comment

Isn't that a bit like saying women who dress "tarty" are asking for it or it serves people right who don't have 50 locks on their doors and intruder alarms deserve to be burgled and it's their fault?Comment

The reasons and consequences for women dressing "tarty" is far too complex for my mind to understand, and I'd be the last to want to get involved in that discussion.Comment
