Use A Command Line At Boston College... Have Your Computer Equipment Confiscated

By Mike Masnick, Tech Dirt

A bunch of folks have submitted various versions of a story in Boston, involving Boston College police being granted a warrant which they used to confiscate the computers of a student as part of an investigation over an email sent to a mailing list...

Luckily, the EFF is now representing the student, pointing out how this appears to be a pretty significant violation of the student's rights.
