I don’t understand this.

If they know the IP addresses and can plot them on a physical map, why in the hell aren’t there 110,000 arrests in the past month?

Something about this doesn’t make any sense.

Under the Pedo-Joe administration I can see why the DOJ would be ordered not to spend time on these cases. But now I cannot understand why there are not massive arrests.

Just because they have an IP address and location doesn’t mean they have a person. Anyone with minimal technical skills can change their IP to reflect another location, say from a blue state to a red state, with no name associated. The person who did the download CAN be found but unless it’s a high-profile case it is usually not considered worth the time and expense to do so. If their true identity is discovered, they may be put on a watch list for repeat offences.

Those stupid enough to commit a crime with their actual IP address are probably already arrested or being watched.

This is nothing more than an admission of failure by Federal LEO's. How many bad guys do you need to locate by IP address (actual physical locations and list of crimes committed), before they do ANYTHING associated with 'enforcement'.

The FBI is confident that you wont figure this out, and they can keep on defying Federal Law all they want so one day they can catch a real bad guy.

Probably VPNs—Virtual Private Networks, which mask the IP location.

This is really disturbing. Are there really that many sick pedos out there? Or is it just a few who require astronomical amounts of images to get off to?

Lot of them use VPN to mask but most of the legitimate VPN services have the ability to unmask if requested by law enforcement so your in a situation where you’re having to prosecute one at a time vs. large swaths.

Kind of like how the Democrats are trying to do with illegal aliens.
