So you work for the child porn police. You sit in your office and wait for someone to call you ... but no one does. It turns out that the people who have and trade child porn are not interested in talking to you. Everyone else tends to avoid child porn. So what do you do? The very fact that you are being paid to police child porn means that the citizens must agree that you should be able to do your job. So that means that it is OK to start rooting around in the normally private places that child porn is stored. So you do that.
Now the citizens are complaining that you are invading their privacy. Well OK then. Why did was this law made if it was not intended to be enforced? Oh, it was intended to be enforced? Whatever, this is stupid, so you continue doing your job, but in total secrecy, now that it is obvious that that is the only way you are going to to be able to do your job.
