Was Hacker's actions the behavior of a private person or state action?
 
  A computer hacker (Hacker) in Turkey sent an untraceable e-mail to the Montgomery, Alabama Police Department (MPD), saying that he discovered evidence of child sexual abuse on a computer in Montgomery; he said that the victimizer is a doctor or a paramedic. The anonymous hacker attached an electronic image file of a white male sexually abusing a young white female approximately five years old. MPD officers replied by e-mail, asking Hacker for more information. He sent attached images of a adult white male nude from the waist down fondling the young girl, exposing her genitalia, and depicting clamps connected to a chain attached to the child's labia. Hacker identified the molester's name and provided identifying information including Steiger's Internet service account information with AT&T WorldNet. MPD officers e-mailed Hacker and in response Hacker provided the Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique address assigned to a particular computer connected to the Internet). An investigator corroborated identifying information about Steiger. Based on this information investigators prepared a search warrant affidavit without mentioning that the source of information was a hacker. A search of Steiger's home produced incriminating evidence that was used to convict him.
  What will be an ideal response?
