Hypocrisy: South Australian Police won't prosecute their own movie pirates
Mikey 4 commentsHundreds of South Australian police officers will escape prosecution even though they have been caught using using their work computers to illegally copy DVD movies. A recent audit uncovered the banned activity. An internal email to Police management had:
"identified a number of instances where commercial DVD movies have been copied to the hard-drives of police computers which potentially had been burnt to blank DVDs"
An official investigation will not be conducted because of the large number of Police officers involved in copying the movies.
I wonder if they will take the same stance, if say, they come across a movie piracy organisation with hundreds of members. Will an investigation be dismissed because of the large number of people involved? I doubt it.
