Slack’s wife worked for the Clay County Magistrate Court and often had occasion to enter the financial details of defendants convicted in court—including the credit cards they used to pay their fines. Slack’s bid to spy on his wife’s e-mails was also vacuuming up private court information, which the government was bound to take extremely seriously if it found out. Making the whole situation just that much worse was the fact that Slack was a cop. Not just any cop, either; Slack was the county sheriff.”
