Weiss on leave due to police investigation

You'd think a guy with degrees from Vanderbilt and Stanford would be a little smarter than this.  Sheesh.

The athletic department has done a pretty solid job of being in the news a ton the last few years for all the wrong reasons.

Good grief. Sometimes I feel like we can't have 24 hours of uninterrupted good vibes without stepping on the next upturned rake.

Hope this is nothing, and if it isn't, I hope it's dealt with swiftly and appropriately. Let's see if Warde is up to the task (in terms of the AD responsibility, regardless of police actions).

Probably used the computer to look into info he should not have access to like health records or even worse pulling some stalker stuff on co-workers.

Hopefully it's not even worse, like pedo or creepy shit.

And there goes jadyn Davis?

Let’s bring Tom Brady home

Clearly falsifying an expense report to The Brown Jug. 

People are stupid 

i guess this could be a lot of different things, i can't think of any that are no big deal, and can think of some that are very bad indeed. 

the story says a bunch of cops did a sting or something at his house. so whatever he did on the work computer seemingly warranted a raid at his home...

hopefully it's just downloading mp3s on napster or something

possibly relevant statute:

752.794 Prohibited access to computer program, computer, computer system, or computer network.

Sec. 4.

   A person shall not intentionally access or cause access to be made to a computer program, computer, computer system, or computer network to devise or execute a scheme or artifice with the intent to defraud or to obtain money, property, or a service by a false or fraudulent pretense, representation, or promise.

and a partial list of some of the potential penalties, but again, speculating on actual charges, if any:

752.797 Penalties; prior convictions; presumption; reimbursement order; definition.

Sec. 7.

  (1) A person who violates section 4 is guilty of a crime as follows:

  (a) If the violation involves an aggregate amount of less than $200.00, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00 or 3 times the aggregate amount, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine.

  (b) If any of the following apply, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $2,000.00 or 3 times the aggregate amount, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine:

  (i) The violation involves an aggregate amount of $200.00 or more but less than $1,000.00.

  (ii) The person violates this act and has a prior conviction.

  (c) If any of the following apply, the person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $10,000.00 or 3 times the aggregate amount, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine:

  (i) The violation involves an aggregate amount of $1,000.00 or more but less than $20,000.00.

Not good Bob.

Michigan Legislature Section 752.796

Use of computer program, computer, computer system, or computer network to commit crime. Sec. 6. (1) A person shall not use a computer program, computer, computer system, or computer network to commit, attempt to commit, conspire to commit, or solicit another person to commit a crime.

Could be something truly awful, or could be something like ...

That certainly doesn't sound good, but it could be something fairly begnin. He could also just be innocent. It may be absurd to say this on the internet, but let's not rush to judgment.

"Computer access crimes" is basically legal parlance for hacking.

Unbeleivable.  Can't we just have a few days of good news without this kind of shit popping up?

...several unmarked cars showed up outside Weiss' home in what appeared to be some type of police presence.

Yea that bodes...unwell.

When everyone was still using telnet to access pine and I started using Eudora and figured out that it let you impersonate anyone's email easily no one seemed to care!
