WiFi High Crimes
Mark Rasch, 2004-05-03

Before WiFi can entirely fulfill its promise, we'll have to confront an oppressive latticework of outdated criminal laws.

Just a thought, as I'm sure we can go on and on with all the legal approaches to this subject, but what if one was to use a site like the previous anonymous post cited (www.worldwidewardrive.org) to see where open access points are in say New York where that state law Mark Rasch talked about is. If they knew before hand, via research on the Internet, where the AP was and went and used it?would that constitute a felony? All the illegal and deliberate use of wardriving tools was already done for them and the information is now readily available since it was obtain on the Internet.

Like I said, this is just a thought. I guess if you get caught it all depends on how much a lawyer can sugar coat it and how deep your pockets are.
