[privacy] California: Angelides Campaign StafferDownloadedGovernor's Comments

[Alex Eckelberry]

Afaik, the CHP is responsible for the security of the Governer as well
as elected officials.  This came out of their combination with the
California State Policy about a decade ago.

Why would the CHP open an investigation?  Is the 'internet highway'
their realm, too?

As for the extra bonus fun story, could it have happened to a more
deserving company?

Via The San Francisco Chronicle.

The manager of Democrat Phil Angelides' gubernatorial campaign
acknowledged Tuesday that two staff members downloaded a controversial
audio file containing private comments of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and
leaked it to the media.

Cathy Calfo, Angeldies' campaign manager, said however, that the
campaign did nothing improper and insisted that the file was left
available on a public Web site.

"There was no hacking, no password, no expertise required," she told a
news conference.

The California Highway Patrol has opened an investigation into whether
the file was obtained illegally. Calfo said no one at the campaign had
been contacted by the CHP.
