don't mess with geeks, lnowledge IS power

A 17-year-old high-school student busted two local cops who pretended to the FBI agents and dropped by her place to grill her over a blog entry in which she made a joke about the school server being hacked.




The afternoon that Erin Carter was interrogated by two FBI agents, the Chapel Hill High student and a friend went to have the officer’s business card, which bore the organization’s name, laminated.


Looking back, she considers that a good move.


The two Chapel Hill police officers are under investigation for having allegedly misrepresented themselves as FBI agents and have been placed on administrative leave with pay pending further investigation, Chapel Hill Police Chief Gregg Jarvies announced Thursday.
