Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name

Posted by Soulskill on from the sounds-like-a-rough-neighborhood dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Police in Teaneck, New Jersey, with apparently too much time on their hands, are investigating an offensive wireless network name. Although the police didn't reveal the name, the New York Daily News reports that it was anti-Semitic and racist in nature. The incident is being investigated as a possible 'bias crime.' It's definitely not what proper people do, but a 'bias crime?'"

    Agreed. Anyone who would report someone to the police for the content of their SSID string is an immature attention whore.
