It seems to me that kiddie porn laws are big.gov's most powerful weapon to rid itself of those it deems undesirable. How much easier can it be to lock someone up for a decade or two than drop a file onto his laptop?

View Quote I guess one could ask "is it acceptable for the government to achieve the goal of imprisoning a criminal even if the government must ignore the Constitution and existing laws to do so?" ... but I suspect that would be pointless in this case. |

NCIS is not the military They are DoN civilians - akin to FBI View Quote Personnel wise they are civilians but they are a part of the Navy and their jurisdiction is like that of AF OSI and CID. While they may be federal agents they don't have the authority that TV show makes them out to actually have. ETA: Where he really screwed up was obtaining the warrant for the guy's information. All he should have done, no matter the crime, is call the FBI and tell them what he found. Then its in civilian hands and he doesn't have to worry about it. |

U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman allowed the videos to be used and Dreyer was convicted of possession and distribution of child pornography after a four-day jury trial in September 2012. View Quote This sounds like she just decided what she wanted to hear, rather than what the rule of law allowed her to hear. This is exactly the kind of judicial activism that needs to be crushed. Though I don't understand the point of that particular law in this application... ETA: Now that I finished the article, I do understand the point. |

Once I read that it was a 9th Circus decision I made my mind up. I don't have an issue with what happened. You, Justice23, would side with law enforcement based on a totally minimal understanding of what happened, to the point you don't even understand what happened? Well color me fucking shocked. From the article: “Such an expansive reading of the military role in the enforcement of civilian laws demonstrates a profound lack of regard for the important limitations on the role of the military in our civilian society,” wrote Judge Marsha Berzon.
Logan, the NCIS agent, had argued he had chosen to scan computers in Washington partly because of the state’s many military bases. While he initially was only able to identify the suspect’s whereabouts within a 30-mile radius of the IP address he identified, he wrote in a search warrant that the “large [U.S. Navy/Department of Defense] saturation” indicated a “likelihood” the suspect was in the military. By that logic, Berzon said, Posse Comitatus would be “rendered meaningless.” “To accept that position would mean that NCIS agents could, for example, routinely stop suspected drunk drivers in downtown Seattle on the off-chance that a driver is a member of the military, and then turn over all information collected about civilians to the Seattle Police Department for prosecution.” NCIS is claiming they can basically search any broad geographical area that could have military members in it using military rules and then refer those results to civilian prosecutors, who may not be bound by the same rules. This is unacceptable under the rules our government is bound to operate under. |

Twelve seasons, 10 of which it was the most watched show. Almost every show this shit goes on, and the audience applauds it. Child porn, and how many wouldn't applaud it?
They did what they thought they could get away with. Why would they think otherwise? |

Quoted: View Quote I don't know the answer to this issue, but if your convictions get tossed nobody but the criminals win in the end. The thing is, there really isn't an alternative for the exclusionary rule. It's all been tried. I mean, what are your options? 1. Let the government prosecute 4th Amendment violations. Doesn't do jack. Government doesn't investigate itself well at all. See Lois Learner. 2. Civil cause of action. Doesn't work. Juries don't like criminals and don't award them money. Exclusionary rule is the only way to keep the government in line. |
