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 sexual abuse the same with boys as with girls? I mean, if yur a 14 yo boy and you get some of that older girl tail, maybe even best friends mom tail, is it bad? Sure I see how chicks can be abused by guys, but really, if yur a 14 or 15 yo guy, puss is good. Right? Slam that thing in and out!

    Come, on , its funny! Offencive, wrong, and crass, but funny.

    Personaly I think there is no tragety so sever that it should be barred from the realms of jokes. Jokes, indeed, to me at least, help make sence of the tragety and put it in perspective, one way or another.

    Well, since the police is now distributing child pornography, does that make having one of these pictures among your property okay?

    I've been looking to the Disney site and there is no official statement from them either confirming or denying they were the alleged location of these crimes or promising any support to the authorities to help catch the perpetrators and protect our children from these sexual predators.

    It's rather surprising but I suppose the corporate types at Disney are simply hiding in thier boardrooms hoping the whole mess will blow over. It's almost as bad as opening permitting this abuse to occur. Seems Disney Land is a predator's paradise just like the Never Land Ranch?

    Vigilante justice is WRONG. Vigilante justice is NOT JUSTICE.

    Why not?

    Why is it Okay for one group of people (the State) to capture and punish criminals, but not Okay for another group (the People) to do so?

    You answer must acknowledge the following points:
    'The State' is nothing more than a subset of 'the People'.
    'The State' is appointed (directly via voting or indirectly) BY 'the People'. (Why can't 'the People' appoint an different subset ('Vigilantes')?)

    Also, please reconcile the fact that, despite vigilantes being on the wrong side of the law, almost every single 'hero' in the past, or in fiction, or on TV/in movies is a Vigilante.

    From the blatantly obvious (The Punisher)
    to the 'cop gone vigilante' (Lethal Weapon)
    to the 'ordinary bloke' (Death Wish)
    to the super-normal (Superman, Batman, Spiderman).
