easy fix for the prosecution: Use parallel reconstruction. I'm sure they're on this as we're commenting here.
Once the information has been gathered, it's out there. You can't unsee it. It will always be there. Now, I don't think we should protect child porn users, but this is a general issue with mass surveillance. Laws change and suddenly somebodies actions that were once legal and are now illegal will be useful for the investigators as a basis for parallel reconstruction or just plain extortion or blackmail.
- acveilleux 10y agoParallel reconstruction is not so easy when the case is already at trial as you can bet the defendant will not be doing whatever it is law enforcement need to now find evidence of. Time machines are still not available.
- pilif 10y agoNo. But they can find other means of proving that the defendant has done what you know they have done.
- okwhatthe2 10y ago> you know Ignorance like this is a large part of the problem with the world.
- onlycommenting 10y agoI agree with everything you've said thus far, however, I'm still curious as to how the Π would go about reconstruction w/out using their already gathered knowledge to get warrants/subpoenas. They could hope the ∆ was using BT and had their IP logged for downloading copyrighted material. Then maybe request a warrant for their computer that way but that seems like a stretch.
