I found this book at a used bookstore and the cover spoke to me (someone please make tape drive with a gun an emote): the suggested book titles gives us a clue as to the target audience:  On page 4 we meet our first hero that we stan:  WHOMST AMONG US no. 1 of many:  WHOMST AMONG US no. 2, with the band name "computer-terrorist women" up for grabs:   Further updates and excerpts to come

always make sure your fungible insurance policies are marked so they don't get mixes up with your non fungible insurance policies

Looks like there's no currently existing edition in the IA: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL4555359M/Computer_capers Things also look pretty grim - "7 editions in 786 libraries": https://www.worldcat.org/title/computer-capers-tales-of-electronic-thievery-embezzlement-and-fraud/oclc/3481380 According to a 1979 IEEE review quote:Although generally nontechnical, the book does discuss in some detail the successful subversion within 13 seconds of the operating system of a Univac computer declared to be “secure.”

I have to get a copy of this book, this is extremely my poo poo. I remember reading "What The Dormouse Said" years ago and it was the first time I really thought about the cultural impact computers had, people really distrusted them (and they were right).

or is it the case that it's illegal for an individual officer to sell it but it's legal for the police department to sell access to the records outright?

i want to say individually it's illegal, maybe due to access and exploiting a position of power for personal gain (lol). while city/county/state could sell access to a database of information as a source of funding in this case, maybe the officer was undercutting the agency's program since he wouldn't be charged for access? classic workplace theft by computer
