RE: Justice? 5 Years Prison for Weed, 90 Days Jail for Cop with Child Porn - What Justice?
Wow, great article.
Police in Australia have been known to traffic child pornography in order to trap pedophiles, and their reasoning is: "We're not taking photos, we're using photos that were already taken so it's not causing further harm."
Fucking hypocrites. If a dude trafficked in photos that he didn't take, they'd still arrest him and throw his ass in prison - but because it's cops doing it, it's totally ok?
Check it out, the operation is called 'Task force Argos'
Imo, that department is totally compromised - fire the lot of them.
Well, the key difference is using the material to catch pedophiles, vs. someone just using it to propagate pedophilia. If they were to make someone a criminal who was using the material to catch pedophiles, then it would be hypocritical. It's an iffy thing, but not using the material would make it harder to ensnare pedophiles. They would be left with message board of pretending to be a child, or selling a child, etc. But putting it out there to traffic in the hopes of catching someone, is problematic. I'm not sure how the process is conducted.
