Re: Investigating child porn is illegal
I'm guessing the downvotes are because you're adding nothing of substance to the conversation.
But you're not wrong (it's a strict liability offence, so mere possesion is enough, there's no mens rea involved), and in fact, there have been various high-profile cases where celebrities and the like have been caught with indecent images and attempted to use the defence that they were merely investigating it.
