I was just up there, it was on the news a good bit, mostly the attitude is
that the "police" are idiots. it's a classic case of "police" not
understanding things and applying the wrong tools to a job.  He may have
done a prank email by telnetting to port 25 of the mail server and forging a
message, but not malicious. BC Campus police are using law enforcement
tools, they confiscated all electronics from a CS major, iPod and all, he's
fighting it.
