Man's life Over, Cops Decide He Watched Child Porn in First Class

You Pushy are going to have to up your game if you want me to take your insults seriously....IdiotBill was far better than you but still that was not good enough, he dont come around here no more after his whining did not work to get him his way and so he left in a huff.

Quote:

the US government makes all new law for sex crimes, law that is nether consistent with the rest of law nor with the Constitution.

Untrue, and that article you posted about the man destroying his hard drive disputes that statement. All of the decisions in that case were made on the basis of existing law--and existing law that had nothing to do with "sex law".

Again, you seem not to understand the material you post.

Meanwhile, I haven't heard you offer a single, well thought out legal strategy for addressing child pornography crimes, including the crime of possession.

Most people do not regard the possession of child pornography as innocuous activity. The images in child pornography are records of crimes commited against children.

Quote:

According to the Mayo Clinic of the U.S.A., studies and case reports indicate that 30% to 80% of individuals who viewed child pornography and 76% of individuals who were arrested for Internet child pornography had molested a child, however they note that it is difficult to know how many people progress from computerized child pornography to physical acts against children and how many would have progressed to physical acts without the computer being involved.

Quote:

By the mid-1980's, the trafficking of child pornography within the United States had been almost completely eradicated through a series of successful campaigns waged by law enforcement. Child pornographers had become lonely and hunted individuals. Producing child abuse images was both difficult and expensive, and reproducing images was equally difficult and expensive. Purchasing and trading such images was extremely risky. Anonymous distribution and receipt was not possible and it was difficult for pedophiles to find and interact with each other. Unfortunately, technology has changed the situation.

Producing child abuse images has now become easy and inexpensive. The Internet allows images and digitized movies to be reproduced and disseminated to tens of thousands of individuals at the click of a button. The distribution and receipt of such images can be done almost anonymously. As a result, child pornography is readily available through virtually every Internet technology (web sites, email, instant messaging/ICQ, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), newsgroups/bulletin boards, and peer-to-peer). The technological ease, lack of expense, and anonymity in obtaining and distributing child pornography has resulted in an explosion in the availability, accessibility, and volume of child pornography.

CEOS works with the 93 United States Attorney offices around the country and investigative agencies to vigorously combat this growing problem. By maintaining a coordinated, national-level law enforcement focus, including coordinating nationwide and international investigations and prosecutions, CEOS works to deter the production, distribution and possession of child pornography by aggressively investigating and prosecuting of these crimes. Additionally, CEOS works with law enforcement to identify victims used to produce child pornography with the goal of rescuing the victims and preventing continued abuse of these children.

The passenger on the plane who reported Smith to law enforcement should be commended for his efforts. He saw a crime in progress and he took action.

Smith is just another deviate.

And this thread was just another excuse for Hawkeye to do his usual anti-government rant, and bemoan the fate of those convicted of sex related offenses. Another of his pity parties for sex offenders.

Same old, same old.

Actually I saw the interview with the eyewitness - he did claim they were images of young girls having sexual acts with adults males.

"He kept scrolling through the pictures and they became sexual and explicit. Little by little they were semi-nude, then completely nude. Just terrible, terrible stuff," said Wade.
The 47 year-old professor from Cottonwood Heights, Utah, was arrested when his flight landed in Boston. Smith was in Boston for a conference.
Wade said as soon as he saw the images he notified a flight attendant. He also took a cell phone picture of Smith looking at his screen.
"Even as I was trying to explain it, I broke down I couldn't contain it. So disturbing what was going on," said Wade.
Wade wanted to make sure something would be done so he e-mailed his son in Phoenix and asked him to call police in Boston.
Police told Wade they found even more disturbing images on Smith's laptop.
"When I was in the interview room with forensic computer police down the hall, they confirmed for me there were other images of sexual activity with grown ups," Wade told FOX 25

Yep - one report - I suppose if there were 10,000 other reports that said otherwise - you would choose the one report that fits your viewpoint.

And the words directly out of this witnesses mouth was sexual acts.

and yet you remain, like a virus.

You certainly neither have an idea of the English laws

I therefore know that child porn is divide into five levels and the lowest levels almost never get anything beyond a police warning.

At some point you hopefully will wise up, man up, and attempt to put down my ideas with a better argument.

Till someone does I am going to fester.

FESTER: to putrefy or rot

More likely, you will continue to putrefy and rot. Your stench speaks for you. There's no argument about it--you sure can clear out a room.Which is why you are generally left talking to yourself, or to barely coherent BillRM.

For the dim:

Your ideas and attitudes stink. Just being able to exude bitter resentment, as you do, does not translate into meaningful thought or rational discourse or compelling ideas. Garbage in, garbage out.

Judge Carol Ball, after hearing defense attorney Patrick Murphy’s plea for easing the terms of Smith’s bail, sided with prosecutor David Deakin’s argument for leaving bail amount and terms in place.

"Based on the facts of the case, additional charges are probable and in fact quite likely," Deakin told the court, adding that Smith allegedly acknowledged he had traded child porn images online. The prosecutor also said that Smith had traveled to Korea and Malaysia within the past year and the high bail was justified to ensure he didn’t dodge future court proceedings.

"He has no ties to the Commonwealth [of Massachusetts]," Deakin stated, adding that Smith’s "ties to Utah appear to be weakening by the day [and] it appears he has as many ties to Korea and Malaysia as he does [to] Massachusetts

When an Arizona businessman named Kurt Wade turned in Grant Smith, a fellow Delta Air Lines passenger who was allegedly viewing child pornography on a flight from Salt Lake City to Boston last Saturday, Wade was doing more than just the right thing. He was reinforcing the belief - so obviously missing in the recent Penn State scandal - that when the exploitation of children is happening right out in the open, adults must do whatever they can to stop it.

The obligation applies both to outright abuse and to pornography, since the child-porn industry is illegal and deeply exploitive; the usual arguments about the right to view adult porn don’t apply when kids are involved.

The fact that a fellow passenger turned in Smith attests to another reality: Airline travelers continue to be vigilant. “See something, say something’’ means something in the air. The same alertness that protects against terrorism also works against many other serious crimes.
