As rare as actual child porn is, the government loves these cases because the defendant is considered guilty before even being arrested, certainly before he gets in front of a judge/jury and there's so much taboo around the issue that most people are unwilling to come to the aid of the defendant. Come to think of it, I could say the same thing about terrorism cases (which are even rarer). And yes, the message they're constantly sending is that pretty much the whole Bill of Rights has been repealed, not just the 5th.
- ljf 10y agoSadly not as rare as you might think, plenty of cases each day, and few make the press. There are a lot of sick people out there.
- threatofrain 10y agoIt seems difficult to get any recent authoritative source on child porn incidence rates. What is the origin of your information? Has there been any academic discussion on the incidence rates of child porn?
- tehwebguy 10y agoLike anyone feels safe even searching for stats like that anymore
- ljf 10y agoSorry no figures just I know someone that works i a court here in the UK and said there are regularly people in on child abuse imagery/video charges, they are usually some boring guy that no one cares about so they don't make the press.

- harywilke 10y agoyea, but he is right that logic and reason are quickly thrown out the window by many people when the suggestion of either terrorism or child porn are brought up. I've experienced that in person while serving on a jury.
