You're forgetting that even if the police recover piles and piles of child porn, the defendent can claim that he created it all via computer. Then the police would have to prove he didn't - which is vitually impossible according to computer forensic standards.

Don't be an idiot. It is, in fact, trivial to prove beyond a reasonable doubt -- just sit the alleged perp in front of a computer and see what he can "create" from scratch.

That's exactly how a Dutch painter, accused of helping the Nazis steal the nation's art treasures, proved that he was merely guilty of forgery.

First, act like a grownup and don't call people names.

Second, it will never fly in a court of law, because the police must prove that it is an actual child. The perp does not have to prove he has the skill to create a digital image.
