... The PD and DAs office goes public to say how they've arrested a vile child pornographer. Media coverage. Citizen outrage at him. yadda yadda yadda...
Pre-trial publicity in a case such as this would be bad for the prosecussion. It would make it difficult do get an unbiased jury.
Something else also just came to mind. Lets say a bunch of cops form a sting operation with a Kazaa client and files named things like "underage little girls anal.jpg", "pre-teen lolitas creampie.jpg", and "illegal girls facials.jog" and share them via Kazaa. Now I as a user download them. The cops in whatever way track the download and get my personal information from my ISP. Now they arrest me for downloading these images. Have I commited a crime? Lets say I searched for "cream pie," "facials," and "anal" for whatever reason. I received thousands of hits and I started the downloading of all of them and went to work. Maybe I haven't even seent them yet. Maybe I have seen then and ignored them because it's more Kazaa crap. Maybe I saw them, believed they might be minors and deleted them. Would I be guilty for destroying evidence? What if they named a real picture of child porn something like "Jenna Jameson -- Flashpoint.mpg" and I downloaded it while looking for a copy of that video. Am I guilty now? All this shit scares me.
This tactic is known as 'Entrapment'. If you can prove that police are inciting you to commit crime, not only will you get off, You will probably end the career of a number police.
Someone in a reply in this thread mentioned that police could doctor the evidence.
Police are supposed to go through integrity tests before the get their job. Also, there are supposed to be procedures followed that ensure that evidence has not
been unduely tampered with.
Not only must the be missing the 'prtScn' key, but they must be missing the 'a', 'b', 'c'... 'z'.
Also the '1', '2'...'0'
oh, and the the '.' and '-', after all Morse code has been around for a while....
Hmm maybe they need to ban Pens a paper too.....oh and speaking - aparantly entire cultures have managed to copy content from one generation to the next just by talking........
I'd hate to be a pedant, bat urely you should be talking in Volume rather than Area. After all, the area of a cross-section of both would be the same if you took it at the right spot.
There was policy speech by former Prime Minister Bob Hawke in the lead up to the 1987 (I think) election
that "by 1990 no Australian child will be living in poverty". Needless to say, That didn't happen
Sounds very similar to "All Australians will have net access"
