> The law doesn't say government agents who engage in child pornography should be punished more severely than regular citizens. We know. We think that the law is wrong. Note that DAs tend to give their fellow govt employees, especially police, a pass, so in practice the law is easier on govt employees. It's a trifecta of tribal, lobbying by govt employees, and "one hand washes the other". > It has nothing to do with the government employee being more 'important' than the common man; that's just an unintended side effect. Actually, it's quite intended. Look into the history of how those laws came about. They were lobbied for by govt employees. And then there's the fact that DAs tend to go hard whenever a fellow govt employee is a victim. It's the same trifecta.
