Brickbat: Seoul Snooping
(Arne9001 | Dreamstime.com)
A judge in South Korea sentenced police officer Shin Mo to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, for repeatedly looking up confidential case files without permission to help friends. Investigators said he accessed private information around 80 times and that he had been caught doing so before, which led to a two-month salary reduction. The court said his actions broke public trust.
