"I’ve got at least two on wireless all the time, and on occasion one other. I’m not into child porn so I’m not going to worry about it. If someone is slipping in from the side, the materials will be on their computer, not mine."

Yes, of course. However, if the Wireless network is Yours, the FBI will be knocking On YOUR door. Being that is where the trace will lead.

Imagine the fun as you explain away it all. What's that old saying about proving a negative?

I couldn’t agree more, but there isn’t much I can do about it other than shut down my wireless. If a guy really wants to, he can probably hack the wireless and even access some of my computers. I wouldn’t know how to do it, but I do believe there are folks out there who do.

Even if you are innocent, the FBI doesn't meekly knock on your door and say, "please excuse us for the inconvenience, but we would like to look at your hard drive, at your convenience, of course."

No, they come with guns pointing, kick in your door, and go through every book, drawer, closet, computer or anywhere you could hide child porn. They will haul off boxes and boxes of stuff to "investigate". They will take every CD, DVD, backup drives, any thing that a file could be backed up onto and they will see if anything is present or has been erased in the past.

That being said, if they have more proof than just someone's computer at a particular address accessed their website, then that's fine. This is what they should do.

Remember, if you or someone else goes to their site using your computer or identifying information, you are a pedophile and it is up to you to prove your innocence.

I hope you have lots of money, good lawyers, an understanding boss who won't fire you just because of the "seriousness of the charges"; a pastor, wife, your children, your parents your in-laws, etc, etc, who will believe you and not the government.

I can see incredible injustices being done to innocent people with one of the most onerous criminal charges imaginable. Even if they eventually don't charge you, there is still the cloud over your head that you may be a pedophile. People in your neighborhood will remember for a long time all those police cars parked in your driveway and on your lawn and the police hauling away boxes of your stuff.

Knowing computers, I can see how it could happen to one of us.

P.S. A neighbor of my in-laws was raided on child porn charges and a year later, he is still the talk of the neighborhood. (I think he was guilty, though)
