Power corrupts.

Pretty much all the time...

Daily Brickbats > Big Brother is Watching - Reason Magazine:
"Someone posted a warning about a possible police sobriety checkpoint on a message board devoted to goings on in Rockland, Massachusetts. A few weeks later, Rockland police Lt. Barry Ashton went on that same message board to say an investigation had revealed that the warning came from a computer in the home of the local school committee chairman. Ashton admits that the warning was not illegal. He also admitted to local media that he did not get a warrant or subpoena to get information on who posted the message."
