Facebook Sued For Violating Wiretap Laws
Facebook Sued For Violating Wiretap Laws: An anonymous reader writes "Facebook is being sued in multiple states for tracking its users even after they logged out of the service. All the lawsuits allege the company violated federal wiretap laws. The most recent lawsuit, filed by a Mississippi woman, says: 'Leading up to September 23, 2011, Facebook tracked, collected, and stored its users’ wire or electronic communications, including but not limited to portions of their internet browsing history even when the users were not logged-in to Facebook. Plaintiff did not give consent or otherwise authorize Facebook to intercept, track, collect, and store her wire or electronic communications, including but not limited to her internet browsing history when not logged-in to Facebook.'"

FBI agent and federal prosecutor take Ferrari for joyride and total it; insurance co. out of luck
FBI agent and federal prosecutor take Ferrari for joyride and total it; insurance co. out of luck: 
A man's $750,000 Ferrari was stolen. It was recovered, and while the government was holding it as evidence an FBI agent and a federal prosecutor took it for a joyride. They totaled it. The owner's insurance company sued. The judge threw out the case, citing "a law making the government immune to lawsuits when property is in custody of law enforcement."
Hopefully, the owner was a Wall Street banker.
