Smith <rms () computerbytesman com> To: 'Declan McCullagh' <declan () well com> http://www.kansas.com/mld/eagle/news/local/crime_courts/12620843.htm Brian and Sarah Doom were shocked when police showed up at their Wichita home accusing them of child pornography. The Dooms had never been in trouble with the law. On Aug. 12, 2004, they found themselves being accused of activity that disgusted them.But the police had the wrong house, based on mistaken information from the
Dooms' Internet service provider, Cox Communications. ... The court order, Shultz said, asked for a home address connected to anInternet address police suspected of receiving child porn. Shultz said that someone at Cox typed in an Internet address different from the one provided
by police. "And the Dooms' home address came up," Shultz said. _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/) ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
