If you don't know, in NY a police officer was charged and found guilty of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and illegally gaining access to a law enforcement database and faces the possibility of life in prison for the first charge and one year for the second charge. While he is obviously guilty of the second, is he really guilty of the first?
The case involves Gilberto Valle and his involvement in internet chat rooms. Most specifically this one.
Following link NSFW - gore, nudity, etc.
Valle was involved in online fantasies of kidnapping and eating various women, but never physically kidnapped or harmed anyone. It was all done in chat rooms and forums.
There is more info here.
I was wondering what you thought of it? I personally think it sets a bad precedent. If they can arrest you for what you say in a forum or online chat, even if it is disturbing, a lot of people could end up in jail. I've heard worse on IRC and 4chan among many others.
