'''PACER''' is an acronym standing for "Public Access to Court Electronic Records", which allows members of the public to electronically obtain documents filed in the United States federal court system by paying a per-page charge. In 2008, [[Aaron Swartz]] downloaded and released about 2.7 million documents stored in the PACER database. The [[FBI]] investigated his actions, but did not file charges. Customers using Firefox have the option of saving retrieved PACER documents in the [[Internet Archive]] using a plug-in called RECAP. This allows the public to access those saved documents free of charge.<ref>https://www.recapthelaw.org/</ref>
