4 in court for alleged illegal use of computers to get school interview questions

This is another stretch of the Crimes Ordinance using the offence of "obtaining access to a computer with a view to dishonest gain for herself or another". The ICAC says that the teachers' smartphones are computers, but presumably the claim is that the teachers used them to take pictures of the question sheets before they were returned. If they had instead used a digital camera, or even an analogue film camera, then the offence would not apply. Another reason to amend the ordinance.
