Feel free to e-mail the governor, unless you've got child porn on that PC

[Freddie Stubbs]

The next time you feel like sending a nasty e-mail to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, consider the case of David Kearby Clements.

In September 2004, Clements e-mailed the governor protesting the lack of enforcement of California's Compassionate Use Act, the voter initiative allowing medical use of marijuana with a doctor's recommendation.

But Clements made the mistake of calling Schwarzenegger a "Nazi" and threatening to physically harm him, according to court papers.

That got the attention of the California Highway Patrol, which is responsible for protecting the governor. So, on Feb. 16, 2005, CHP officers executed a search warrant at Clements' South Lake Tahoe home to obtain evidence that the e-mail originated on his computer.
