Answer 1

In the state of Florida, wardriving is not legal and a felony of the third degree in the state of Florida. A third-degree offense in Florida takes up to 5 years, with a fine of up to $5000. Wardriving is not a gray area in the state of Florida. All conditions considered wardriving are laid down very clearly in the Law. I think this is so much a personal property issue as an ethical issue. I agree it ought to be illegal to wardrive.
