they're taking advantage of the writ of the law to make a buck selling something as close to child porn as possible, i'm all for the government taking advantage of their civil liberties right back. because you have to have some pedo in you to take those pictures every day in the first place. even if you're too much of a pussy to go to jail for it and we don't have hard facts on these guys in front of us, there's NO WAY these guys don't do bad shit to kids at a signifigantly-elevated rate than the general population.

knowing some guy with a badge knows who you are and likes asking around about you once a year is a tremendous way to make someone who hasn't acted-out much and isn't incurable think twice about touching their next kid.

Well, if you follow that reasoning to its logical conclusion... then the police should also keep tabs on all young black males, since they're "statistically, more likely" to commit a violent crime than young whites.
Wait... nevermind... they already do that.



In any case, the whole argument is moot... since your views on the matter ( ie. "It's worth it to keep scum like that off the streets!"* ) are certainly more in tune with those of the majority of people in this country. So, if I had to wager, I'd say you'll get your wish.
VIVA FASCISMO!!
