Men arrested for breaking into Dallas County Courthouse after judicial branch hires them
Found on Des Moines Register on Sunday, 15 September 2019
Authorities later found out the state court administration did, in fact, hire the men to attempt "unauthorized access" to court records "through various means" in order to check for potential security vulnerabilities of Iowa's electronic court records.
But, the state court administration "did not intend, or anticipate, those efforts to include the forced entry into a building," a Wednesday news release from the Iowa Judicial Branch read.
The fine print of the conract should offer a few more details; but if they were really hired, they should be let off the hook.
