the stealing a car analogy is flawed due to the fact that you cant accidentally start driving someones car without knowing lol. now you majority of people tend to leave wifi on and can unknowingly connect to someones open wifi. . I don’t feel as though that someone who accidently connects to someone’s network should be penalized due to their lack of security. For example; if I visit my friend’s house and leave my laptop or phone in my car downloading something and my devices mistakenly connect to a local unsecured internet than I did not intentionally connect to their network. all about intent
