Government gone wild

Here is a story about the ineptitude of government today and how inflexible it can be. You can read the full story on Channel 9's website, click the link below for that. Basically, a cop goes into a library in Johnson county with a wallet they found that contains a library card. The cop asks the librarian for an address on the person so they can return it, and the librarian gives him the address. The police return it and everyone is happy. Everyone that is except the Library, which fired the librarian for releasing private information without a court order.

What the hell? I understand there are privacy concerns but at some point a human being has to have a conscious thought that "yeah its against policy but that person used good judgement so we can make the executive decision to make an exception" but not in this case. Kudos Johnson County Library, you fired someone that helped someone else and made your organization look like a bunch of mindless idiots. Good job and kudos to you!
