Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale
Leilah writes "Toronto police have found a new application for computerized photo editing. The police released edited photos on Feb. 3 from a series of child pornography pics in an attempt to locate where the photos may have been taken. Two days later, they have identified the Port Orleans hotel in Disney World as being the location. This seems to be the first time photo editing has been used in law enforcement this way and strikes an interesting line between protecting the victims and being able to get public tips. It looks like it may be used quite heavily in the future given this success."
Is that what you did? ;)
Man, the toronto police dept. seriously needs to hire a farker or two. Even the mediocre photoshoppers there do a better job than they did.
Of course, one of those photos would probably end up with Admiral Ackbar, Wil Wheaton or that over-endowed squirel.
The more important question is whether police will start to trawl fark/something awful/etc photoshop contest participants for would-be employees.
Though seeing Akbar appear on police help websites would be somewhat surreal.
Why does Michael Jackson like twenty nine year olds? ...
Because there are twenty of them!
See, I can make a joke about abusing nine year olds. And it's a pretty funny one. Neener.

Why replace it with a vanilla background? If you're good you could replace it with someone else's living room.
Not for pedos. You'd get free access to kiddy porn and not even worry about the legality. You'd stare at it all day and it would just be part of the job.
I read somewhere about how the majority of kiddy porn sites are ran by some form of govt for sting operations. I wonder how many of those govt employees actually enjoy their work more than they should?

IT'S A TRAP!
English is easier said than done.
Yeah, I had a relative die in a concentration camp. He fell out of a guard tower. Pretty sad.
Me too. He was hit by someone who fell out of a guard tower.
