Florida man charged with felony for wardriving

If you've been planning on doing some wardriving in Florida, think again. Benjamin Smith III was arrested and charged with unauthorized access to a computer network, a third-degree felony in the state of Florida. It's not clear, however, whether Smith was attempting to access a computer on the network or just browsing the web and checking e-mail. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, this is likely the first arrest of its kind in the state.

Woah! Well, this is sooo not cool. A fucking felony just for hopping on a signal.
