Sure... unless the white collar prison happens to be full that day, or the psychologist gets it wrong, or he's left in a holding cell for a few days before transportation, or any of the other ways the system can fail...
The people who really ought to be having a miserable time in prison get a free pass to carry on tormenting and hurting other people for their own amusement. Other people who have nowhere to escape and nobody to turn to for help.
Let's reword it for the unimaginative: For a crime to be committed they have to show that you were definitely aware of the items and did nothing to get rid of them.
I think you'd be fairly aware that you were walking around carrying a machine gun or had explosives strapped to your chest. Even handguns are plenty heavy/bulky enough for you to deny you knew they were there (unless they're buried inside a heavy backpack or something).
A two ounce baggie in your pocket? You could easily not notice it.
An image on your PC...? Unless it's your desktop wallpaper and you're sitting in front of the screen when they burst through the door then you should be 100% innocent until proven otherwise.
Even more effective, though they don't bark enough so you might still get your window broken. OTOH there's more chance of the perp being bitten, which is generally a good thing.
I'm sure some of them will be of underage people. What do the feds do if you even LOOK at a child strangely these days? What's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander.
If there's nothing to see here then let's have a website put up with scans of all the US senate (and their families).
Is this a thread where we all get to wave our dicks over what oscilloscope we own but totally fail to answer the OPs question, ie. "Without specifying frequencies, number of channels, etc. you're not going to get a useful answer."
FWIW: My scope is a single-channel Hameg made in the '70s (don't know exactly how old it is but I found it in a junk pile 25 years ago...)
They'll lose the speed war to SSDs so they'll be competing on capacity. 5.25" disks will have three or four times the capacity without increasing the number of platters/heads (which is expensive).
You're completely and utterly missing the point. The point is that they're charge $5 extra for one (or $50 if you don't include it with the initial purchase of the machine).
They needed to wait 60 years to measure the exact flow rate of this glass - you wouldn't want the bottom of your TV screen to go all wavy after a couple of years.

You've never done government contracting then...?
It doesn't *cost* that much, that's the number people say whenever governments ask for estimates.

The problem isn't the joke, the joke is fine. The problem is that it's really going to happen, that we all know it and that we do nothing about it
This.

Mod parent up.
He should get much more because he obtained the child porn *and* perverted the cause of justice.
This is exactly why "possession" (of *anything*) shouldn't be a crime.
It will be lawyers who prevent this from happening, not technology.
Doesn't matter if you can prove your autopilot is ten times safer than a human, unless it's 100% perfect you'll be picked apart by the weaselvultures.
They also complain about seatbelts and think that old cars are safer ... should we listen?
Snowflake won't have enough leg room in anything less!
.... if you limit the speed to 30mph and fit missile launchers to destroy anything which comes towards you at more than 30mph
Try this: Go outside, look in the windows. What can you see? Where would you try to get inside if you see something you like?
Until you do that you're just guessing.
PS: Good insurance + data backups is usually the best option.

I've got a single beam Hameg made in the 1970s ... it still works a treat!
500 letters has about the same political influence as two fancy lunches - money wins!

The Intel X25-V is just what you need...
The speed war is lost to SSDs. A year or two from now hard disks will be bought for capacity, not speed.
...or just go back to 5.25" for big storage.
They'll lose the speed war to SSDs so they'll be competing on capacity. 5.25" disks will have three or four times the capacity without increasing the number of platters/heads (which is expensive).

All those $5 CDs add up to a lot of money...
The point is they can charge you $5 extra when you order the machine or $50 later if it fails.
Also ... if 50 pounds + extras is as much as buying a new machine then the 50 pounds isn't the problem, it's the extras.
Moral: Make a backup then reclaim the recovery partition for something useful.

The exact same is true for 'normal' movies - background objects are out of focus. Damn!
