To be fair, I did qualify my statement with a “could”. IANAL.
This likely depends on where it happens as well, and how aggressive the legal system is there. I know that I’ve heard of cases where a high school official was attempting to handle a situation where a student was distributing nude pictures of another student via their phone, and because the teacher forwarded the message to themselves so that they could show law enforcement, the teacher ended up being charged with possession of child porn.
I guess all I’m saying is that I wouldn’t want to be in a position where I could inadvertently capture something like that. Maybe 90% of the time you’re fine as long as you handle it properly, but we’ve all seen situations where someone ends up in a bad situation despite having no ill intentions.
