Isn't it Freedom of Speech to talk about someone on
Message Board/Blog ? I was talking about an old classmate &
they got offended & ran to the police dept. to make a report that someone was talking about them on this site ! - well the site would not do anything for them, so they chose the police ! there friend at the police dept. decided to obtain this instrument to track who was talking about them, they found out who it was after the fact they got a warrant for there work computer ! now the person lost there job over this non-sense ! the DA person went to that person's home to question them & was very agressive in front of 2 small children also ! - well he found the person & now they have decided to file harassment charges & the person was never directly contacted ! they now are telling lies there scared for there family & to go to the park w/there children, there really drawing this out ! what do you think will happen next ? is it a waste of time to file harassment charges ? there was no threats or stalking involved -
 
First of all, Freedom of Speech does not give anybody the right to defame or harass people. If you said anything inflammatory or offensive, you are not protected by Freedom of Speech. Second of all, if "this person" was stupid enough to use their work computer for personal stuff, then maybe they don't deserve their job. As far as I know about work computers, it is against the rules of any office to use them for anything other then professional purposes. Unfortunately, this comes down to the whole "he/she started it" argument. If "this person" had been smart and mature enough to just keep some things to themselves, they wouldn't be in this predicament. All they can do now is just wait for the whole thing to blow over.
