I've had friends cited for reckless driving/and or speeding when a cop catches them "racing the yellow" ... so it may not be on the books per say but they'll still get you for something

"At one point he was concerned about the security of the FiberWAN routers in remote offices, so he had them set up without saving the config to flash. "If they go down, I'll get alerted, and connect up to them and reload the config." Great, except we have power outages all the time in this city, some of those devices aren't on UPSs, and what happens if you're on vacation?

No that's a twist on what happened to suit the ideas of slashdot. What happened was he was locked up and said "I'll only give these passwords to the Mayor" Now what he was required to do by the state policy was provide the passwords to Information Security for inclusion in the central password management database due to them being production passwords. He obviously did not do this as none of this would have happened if he did.

... Actually he expressly did NOT follow policy.

All production system-level passwords must be part of the security administered global password management database.

In fact, if the passwords had been in that database, then he would A) probably never had been asked for them and B) would have been able to say "you need to request access from the security department" Now HE may have thought they were "user" passwords because the system was his baby, but if you truly agree with that ... then well this is going to be like arguing with a religious person about the existence of god.
