Political Enemy? The Boyzzz Can Search Your Documents!

When "Joe the Plumber" quizzed Teh Won, the Lefties in Ohio's Gummint went nuts.

...The inspector general's report said, "Our investigation determined that there were 18 separate records checks conducted on Wurzelbacher following the Oct. 15, 2008, presidential debate. Five were conducted in response to media requests for information and eight were conducted by various agencies without any legitimate business purpose."

Records searched were the state Department of Jobs and Family Services, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Taxation and others.

"Jones-Kelley's authorization to search three confidential agency databases … was improper, and her use of state e-mail resources to engage in political activity was also improper," the inspector general's report said.

The report noted Jones-Kelley explained the information was searched because Wurzelbacher was "thrust into the spotlight."

"None of the justifications provided by Jones-Kelley meet any reasonable 'agency function or purpose' as required," the report said.

So?

So nothing.

U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley has dismissed a complaint brought against Ohio state officials who hunted for details about "Joe the Plumber" when the working man confronted then-candidate Barack Obama during his campaign for the presidency in 2008.

...Marbley dismissed the action, ruling there was no real damage to Wurzelbacher when officials searched police, social services and other databases for his details.

You HAVE no rights. Apparently the "right to privacy" only exists if one is named "Griswold."
