Wow. I'm surprised. The CAO says he might revisit the matter following the investigation. Something tells me the CAO might be looking for a new job instead.

He might still be. But any corporation or government will install this kind of software on their computers to monitor them. If it's not on the front end, it's on the back end. Doesn't mean the police put it there to spy on him.

You agree to this when you log on to the computer, so saying the police put it there may still qualify him for the aluminum headgear.
