Leaving a paper trail of you having accessed unauthorized private info is a bad idea, some crazy lawyer could decide to include you in a suit. Just not worth the hassle. Email a tip line about the general situation.

How is it unauthorised if it's freely available via a search without having to bypass any login?
It'd be like putting up an advert and then trying to sue anyone who sees it.
Some crazy lawyer included my parents in a traffic death suit’s defendants while they were victims who had their car badly damaged when the reckless driver rammed into two cars (including my parents’) and two pedestrians. The question isn’t whether you’re at fault, it’s whether you want to risk getting a court summons.
I'm confused about what you're saying - are you saying that your parents risked getting a court summons though they weren't at fault?
Surely the entire point of the court system is to determine who, if anyone, is at fault.

Not to forget some eager prosecutors. They can still try to prosecute for accessing material even if they end up losing. Lot of hassle there.
Good call!
