It really is becoming an epidemic of stupidity:

Two DeKalb County police officers have been placed on paid administrative leave after an investigation revealed they ran a background check on President Barack Obama.

A representative for the DeKalb County CEO’s office identified the officers as Ryan White and C.M. Route.

I guess they missed that whole thing last year with State Department employees accessing records on Obama, Clinton and McCain? Just the lack of judgment on the part of these officers is alarming enough. What ever law this violates they should be given the maximum penalty on. They have abused their power, betrayed the public trust and betrayed their oath to uphold the law. That is inexcusable.
