I would be curious to see a rundown on how many people who collect child pornography have *ever* been convicted of a violent crime. This is an uneducated guess, but I would assume that such a person would be less likely than most other humans to even resist arrest, much less fight back or use a firearm against police officers. (Most human beings require significant conditioning and specific social and psychological conditions before they will willingly fire a weapon at another human.) Point being, I question whether SWAT raids for child pornography would be justified under any reasonable circumstances. (Obviously if the guy is a known gun nut, an NRA member, has a history of violence or is a soldier with PTSD - which I guess is the same thing as "has a history of violence" - that would change things.) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
