i used to worked for a public school district, and i once pointed out a guys laptop was infested with porn popups (~2000). the cops investigated me for reporting it.
That’s absolutely fucking bonkers. I’m hoping that this didn’t cause you any lasting consequences at work.
Need some more details here.
A "guys" laptop? Like a student or a faculty member?
Did you report it to the police or to the IT department or other faculty? Who were you in this school? Teacher?
What do you mean by the cops "investigating" you? Like asking a few questions to get it on record? Or getting into your computer? Were they accusing you of something? Who called them in the first place?
it was a volunteer in the building. his personal device... and he was like 80 years old. i reported it to the 'room' teacher, as im just an IT guy.
the next thing i know, 2 detectives have me in a room questioning my knowledge of 'lolita'. they really didnt like the fact that i pointed out this 80 year old guy was the victim of a drive-by popup storm on his laptop... common for the era.
teacher->principal->cops->me for some reason
i got nothing to hide, so whatevs
the volunteer was told not to come back
Sounds like maybe they found more than popups when they investigated...
