Child Porn Probe Uses Live Internet Wiretap

rrkap writes "The Sacramento Bee is reporting that Jason Heath Morgan, a suspect in a child porn case was subject to the first 'live internet wiretap.' According to the story, 'Technology used in the surveillance is very similar to a phone tap. Agents attached a monitoring device to Morgan's phone line, then tracked his Internet activity from remote computers.' This packet sniffing was authorized by the PROTECT Act - officially Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act, which authorizes such tapping of internet connections."

    ... the PROTECT Act - officially Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act ...

    "There is plenty of porn out there that depicts 18 - 19 year olds as being much younger (or so I here), are these kind of images also illegal and considered child porn?"

    Humans go though puberty at about 11-13, yet we are not suppose to be attracted to people in this age group since 1 million years of evolution is simply wrong, very very wrong, and evil.

    As for your question, anything under 19 should be illegal, including 19 year olds in the privacy of their own home having sex.

    This should especially be illegal: Cupidon. Art is a no-no.

    Raise your hand if your sick and fucking tired of all these stupid acronyms. I can't believe how much of our tax dollars are wasted by these fucking pricks that sit around and try to figure out how the hell they can phrase their next pet project so the first letter's of the words of the title sort of form some fucking word. I say sort of, because as in "PROTECT", half the damn time these ass hats just forget the fact that half of the words don't conform and the idiots just leave them out.

    I have an idea for a wonderfull program. I'm going to track down the cocksuckers and make one thing clear."Either you Assholes stop wasting my Tax dollars or I'll hunt you down, take a baseball bat and Shove the Handle Into your fucking ass, remove it and shove it into your Throught. It's my new program ... I call it EAT SHIT!.
