Boing Boing: U. Florida cops ask fiction writer for fingerprints, DNA  

Cory Doctorow:

The university police at Gainesville's University of Florida have targeted a graduate student in the English program over his publication of a piece of horror fiction on his LiveJournal.

This is pretty stupid. My tax dollars at work. And then the police don't respond, as they should. Lt. Sharkey needs to be fired, there is no excuse for that lack of response. Speaking as a former civil servant, I am well qualified to make that statement.
