Know the Answer?

Willie Hunt · Answer 1

No he did not

Explanation:

The statute states if the computers are used knowingly and without permission but the statement above it does not give any resemblance to the activities which are prohibited in the statute. The statement states that Kelly Chrisman used the computer for non-duty works and for that he is charged. The values of the statute have not been broken in accordance with the statement above.

Hence, it can be presumed that Police Officer Kelly Chrisman did not violate the statute.
