A complaint to police alleges that federal human-rights investigators used an unwitting woman's wireless Internet connection to log on to white supremacist websites and make postings to chat groups.More here.
The complaint to the RCMP and Ottawa police was made this week by Toronto resident Mark Lemire, who runs a website that has been the subject of a long-standing hate case before the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
Among other things, Lemire's complaint alleges that commission investigators breached sections of the Criminal Code by "wilfully and with malicious intent" using the woman's connection without authorization and "committed theft of telecommunication service."
The sections makes it an offence to wilfully interfere with the lawful use of data, fraudulently obtain a computer service, or fraudulently use any telecommunication facility or telecommunication service.
