In what way is that ruling correct?

Accessed computers without authorization and did so for money.

From the article:

The decision itself concerns a police officer who ran a license plate for money. The question was whether that act constitutes a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. The Court held that it did not.

I didn't read enough into the case to know why they ruled the way they did.

He was authorized to use that computer. Authorized to run plates.

I agree with this ruling. He wasn't some hacker accessing things he shouldn't.

Yeah, for police business. He did it for cash, though.
