A judge convicted a suspended New Jersey police captain of using an FBI database to check to do backgrounds of players on a minor league baseball that he followed, Philly.com reports.
Brian Brady, 52, of Sparta, also directed subordinates to use the National Crime Information Center database to conduct a background check on a home health aid for his mom. He was the third ranking officer of the state Human Services Police.
Brady was found guilty of official misconduct and computer theft.
Brady “repeatedly treated a restricted law enforcement database like his personal information clearinghouse,” said Criminal Justice Division Director Elie Honig.
“There’s no room in law enforcement for this type of rogue behavior,” Honig said.
Brady faces up to 20 years in prison.
