"I knew that the Union Street had WiFi. I just went down and checked my e-mail and didn't see a problem with that," Peterson told a reporter.

"I had a feeling a law was being broken, but I didn't know exactly what," Sparta police chief Andrew Milanowski told the TV station.

Peterson's actions could result in a five-year felony and a $10,000 fine. However, prosecutors do not plan to throw the book at him, as they don't believe that Peterson was aware he was even breaking the law. Instead, he will pay a $400 fine and do 40 hours of community service.

Well at least they gave them a warning. Not like the poor guy in Michigan who has to pay a $400 fine and do 40 hours of community service. 🙁

And this off-topic remark comes from the 'moron' (huckleberryhound) who posted that RHP was going to shut down because there weren't enough revenues to keep it up. Personally I would have dumped you on your butt for that one, but you got away with it.

You can say what you want, but once people know the truth about you they won't listen anymore. It's because of your lies to Reader that she left RHP. It's also because of your 'behind the scenes' PM's that mokko left.

You are fat, ugly, incompetent and scum. I won't waste my time to debate that with you.

A bit suspicious? I think so.
