Dear everybody, the scandal is not in the fact that the UK police prosecuted that guy, after all if the UK set of laws is lame and allows bored police officials (maybe looking for press attention) to prosecute people upon non-substatial facts, you can't complain too much. This is more a problem for the local legislator...

The true scandal is that you read on newspapers phrases like " As an IT security consultant, it will be a long time before Cuthbert's reputation is restored and it is possible he will never work in the industry again."

Not that the newspapers are wrong, it's just that if the IT industry is so dumb to discriminate a professional for the rest of his life because of a case like this one, then it means that the same IT industry deserves the pile of shit coming from the real bad guys...

Sorry for the acid words but I think they are more than appropriate in this particular case.
