I'm sorry you don't understand the very bright distinction between "investigation" and "accusation". But, I'm not surprised.
"but it is highly likely he was."
It's likely (in your mind) that he was, because....
You have offered no evidence or support about why the man was arrested, other than "the story doesn't say he wasn't". Not very compelling. The story doesn't also say that the man was shot and his dog was killed, are we then to presume that he indeed was shot and his dog was killed specifically because the story doesn't say it? I'm just curious, because this seems to be the logic you enjoy employing.
"If he wasn't, that just proves even more how wrong the cops were and that they should have done their due diligence BEFORE busting down his door and holding him at gun point."
Their due diligence was perfect. An internet connection that he owned was the medium for transfer of legally prohibited images. Their probable cause was CLEARLY accurate.
"I don't know about you but if someone held me at gun point for some flimsy reason, I would be highly pissed off....and I'm sure you would be to."
There's nothing "flimsy" about the dissemination and consumption of child porn. It's shocking you don't understand that.
"The whole argument here has been that the cops acted out of line, you're defending it and yet you just inadvertently proved yourself wrong by saying he wasn't arrested."
No, they in fact were proven right. They have indicted someone who downloaded internet porn using a connection in a home that was searched. Their investigation and search wasn't only warranted, it was quite clearly fruitful.
I concur. So let's all volunteer to have our computers inspected by the kiddie porn police weekly. Those that don't volunteer will be used as evidence for the search warrant. Are you with me?
I wonder why the police didn't storm into every ISP router building that the traffic went through? It's not like a wifi router can only host connections from the owner. I agree with you...but they didn't do enough to secure everyone that may have been involved in this kiddie porn transfer. I want them to raid all the business offices of that were involved in the transmitting of these images as well. Let's go after someone that has the means to defend themselves in court to really make a point. Kiddie porn will not be tolerated over all your rights. Once we win that one...it will be easy to get the kiddie porn volunteer search system running.
Something doesn't jive. Either the man was suspected of being the pervert or he wasn't. Which one are you claiming?
If he wasn't suspected then why the need for guns and all the police. One officer or even a letter to the homeowner could have provided the details needed top find the perv.
