Girls Bugged Teachers' Staff Room

A pair of enterprising Swedish schoolgirls ended up in court after they were caught bugging their teachers break room. The duo hoped they would hear discussions about upcoming tests and school work, allowing them to get better grades. It worked until one of them decided to brag about it on Facebook, and the authorities were called in. The girls were charged with trespassing and fined 2,000 kronor ($270) each in Stockholm District Court.

Such things do not happen here in Sweden, because we have a functioning public high-school system. The US does not, from my understanding it's more like a part-time juvenile detention facility where you can choose to study if you feel like it. Also, the colder cultural climate (often mistaken as "chronic suicidal depression on a country-wide scale") might be a contributor to not running into hot-headed schemes.

>>>The FBI investigated the case and found there was not enough evidence to convict anyone of criminal charges.

The FBI also investigated the Black Panthers that were standing in front of voting polls, and intimidating white voters, and found not enough evidence to convict anyone even though there's TONS of evidence (video, eyewitness testimony). So I think it's understandable why I don't trust the FBI's judgement on this or any other matters.

>>>Are you claiming the FBI is in cahoots with...

Strawman argument. I never said anything of the kind. HOWEVER there was a camera placed inside bedrooms that could spy on (and was used to photograph) Pennsylvanian children. That alone is reason enough to prosecute. It's an illegal search by a government authority without Judge-issued warrant.
