Justice Rules Police Can't Steal Other Kid's Toys (Linux Journal)

Linux Journal covers the story of Riccardo Calixte, the Boston College computer science student targeted by heavy-handed investigators for the capital offense of being a Linux user. "Though Calixte was forced to finish the rest of his semester without a computer -- a rather important tool for a computer science student -- or network access, which school officials saw fit to shut off without bothering to wait for the kangaroo court to conclude, he has now been vindicated, with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ordering the police to immediately return his property and cease all analysis of it."
