Yes, it does, if you are to listen to officials in Renton, WA. Seems a whistle blower there has been creating parody animations about the corruption surrounding the Renton police department and posting them to YouTube... a lot of the stuff posted about is attainable through public records. The cartoonist goes by the name of MrFiddlesticks and is now facing the threat of prison time for CYBERSTALKING, because Renton officials are miffed that someone would embarrass them by airing their dirty laundry... and under Washington's broad ranging cyberstalking laws, embarrassing them gives them the right to seek prosecution. A judge has already signed off on a warrant to make Google release info so officials can track down the cartoonist.
