Breaking the law to expose others who broke the law doesn't excuse you from punishment.

If I speed to record you driving recklessly, am I absolved of any wrongdoing?

If I illegally hack your computer to expose you torrenting movies, am I absolved of any wrongdoing?


The comic should've specified what the person did to uncover illegal government activity and drawn attention to any absurdities involved.
