Day 24 - Theft of Services

May 28^th

            As I was posting last nights blog, sitting at a picnic table in the high school playground at eleven o’clock at night, a police officer pulled up next to me, rolled down his window and informed me that if I was using the unlocked internet network from the high school, which I was, that I could be charged with a misdemeanor classified as “theft of services.” There are now laws preventing people from taping into radio waves that we cannot prevent from traveling through our bodies. I laughed. After agreeing that it was a silly concept, the nice officer drove away satisfied that he had done his job.
