alt Hacker NewsI've did plenty of shit stuff in school, always got polite requests to stop rather than getting the police called on me, except one time.
I think "kid did a hacking, adults called the cops" is less common than people think, it just doesn't usually make the news when that happens, only when the cops get involved the media get involved, so essentially survivor bias.

Exactly, if it wasn't extraordinary it wouldn't make the news. The problem is when people think what's reported as news is normal rather than exceptional.
At colleges that I've worked at it really seems to depend on intent. If you fuck up the network trying to increase your own speeds, warning. If you maliciously try to access protected information, cops.
