I mean I dont know that the state should be making assertions like that without doing anything about it…
the government can’t just go around making public, widely discussed announcements that they had extensive video evidence of specific individuals committing some heinous crimes. They don’t have any chance to dispute it or to argue innocence. Which, as guilty as we may think people may be based on their class affiliation, they should still not be declared socially guilty by fiat, especially by Donald trumps wacky band of misfits.
If the state has evidence of crimes then they should charge or something. (From the perspective of the current system of government.) Not spread gossip, which is essentially what theyd be doing.
End of the day, there was never any possibility of the kind of pedo purge of government people are hoping for. So they’ve got themselves into quite a pickle by constantly banging the drum that theyd do it.
That’s like saying forensic pathologists must all get off on mutilated corpses. The jury selection would be restricted by them needing to view such material, but there are still people who would be willing to for the sake of getting a just conviction. I’m not sure if this is obvious to you, but there are people whose jobs it is to investigate things like this as it is, and I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that most of them are just pedos.
soo… in your opinion anyone involved or interested in punishing or otherwise bringing to account perpetrators of CSA is by definition a pedophile themselves?

Have a trial, let the jury view the material.
I’m not sure if anyone is even talking about that. I just see “transparency”. But it’s not like I spend a lot of time following the Discourse.
You’d need a jury comfortable with watching CSAM and we have a word for people like that.
oh yea totally, a jury has never had to deal with a CSAM involved case ever before. this would be the first one ever.

I’m mostly saying it in jest, my apologies.
