On Thursday evening around 7:00 PM, police arrested a 40-year-old man from Ridderkerk on Prinses Beatrixstraat in Ridderkerk for computer hacking. Due to a police error, the man had inadvertently gained access to confidential police documents. When ordered to relinquish these documents, he refused. He stated that he would only comply if he received something in return. Therefore, the decision was made to arrest the man, search his home, and secure the confidential files to prevent possible dissemination.

    ACAB all the way. but in this case, all he had to do is say “Okie Dokie”, it’s impossible to prove he didn’t make copies or backups, or wether he deleted them or not.

    Asking for randsom money from police is pretty stupid way to admit non compliance.

    that being said, the police should get in trouble for leaking confidential information.
