Quote:Bill: The US laws, at least, define any picture that have any possible sexual elements in it of a person up to the age limit of 18 as child porn and it does not even matter if the producer is also the only subject of the material.
Quote:Hawkeye: In other words the standard is "any pic that agents of the state imagine would give a perv a hard-on" is illegal. That is one hell of a way to run a government. And the elite wonder why they have lost the people! Idiots
I don't keep up with this kinda stuff at all, but I do recall coming across a story a few years ago where some guy was charged with a crime for taking pictures during a basketball game at a high school gym.
He took pictures of the cheerleaders going through some of their routines. Some thought that he was doing it because they had on skimpy undergarments.
I couldn't believe it. Everyone in the crowd saw the routines. No one complained about them, from the school board, to the cheerleading "coaches," to the parents of the cheerleaders, to the crowd in general.
Why on earth should this guy be arrested for seeing what everyone else saw just because someone wanted to presume he had sexual motives for looking?
Many people see no reason whatsoever to limit or restrain enacting their arbitrary whims into absolute criminal law. Disgusting.
