Police executed a search warrant at a home on Thursday. Images of child sexual abuse were found on a computer, police said.

While I have little sypmathy for this guy, I can't help but notice that apparently , your activities on the internet are being watched. You are in public, just as if you were out walking down the street.
Worse, when you're walking down the street only a handful of people see and recognize you, or remember you were there. On the internet, they remember for ever, even years later they still have records. And they do anything they want with those records.
Since the "Robocall scandel " (machines phoning you up, asking who you're going to vote for, and sending you off to the wrong polling station where you're not allowed to vote, thus influencing an election ) I've always been interested in how such records could be used to figure out what political party you're likely to vote for, and then somehow , through law or deception , remove your right to vote.
It is of great concern that they are watching and recording our every activity, though I know many people who do not believe this.
Interesting.

Actually, what probably happened is that another user reported that this perverted guy uploaded the images, then authorities were notified and his IP was traced. I don't think this is a case of the Government monitoring everything you do and some alarm being triggered automatically to alert them whenever something illegal is done.
In the end, that also works out to "you are being watched" , be it volunteers or official police employee's.
You are in public online, that is the point.
Yes, but that is taken for granted in a basically law-abiding society. Maybe in Somalia or somewhere anarchic, nobody would care or they would be afraid to get involved, but in a civilized country, if you make your crimes public, odds are they will be reported. If this guy was at McDonald's or Tim Horton's sitting in a booth showing hard copies of his nasty pictures to his friend and someone else saw them, or if his landlady or a repairman saw his photo collection in his apartment they would likely report him to the cops as well.
It's not necessarily something specific to Internet use. If you do something illegal and offensive like he did, odds are if someone else sees, they will report it. Online or off. Granted, the internet does make it easier for law enforcement when idiots post Facebook pictures of themselves throwing huge wads of bank robbery money in the air, or posing over the dead bodies of their murder victims.
The whole "Something illegal" argument falls apart when you look at the robo-call scandel in canada where they phoned you up , asked who you were going to vote for, and if they didn't like the answer a live person phoned you and directed you to the wrong polling station , knowing you wouldn't be allowed to vote, knowing 90% of you would arrive and say "forget it !" and go home and not vote at all , thus influencing an election.
and "Something Illegal" is really meaningless in the united states when you have laws like Manner of Walking (in ferguson Missouri) where if the cop just thinks you're guilty, it's 1000$ fine and 3 months in jail, basically they've re-legalized black slavery. Which is exceptionally dangerous because the laws they're using don't say "Blacks Only" they could be used on anyone the politico's disagree with. (like , say , a big list of people you figured out aint gonna vote for you so lets make sure they don't vote at all... in jail or on probation in the USA not allowed to vote)
It's a disturbing thing , having these people watching you all the time. I don't mean to defend the criminals, but I think the price is a little on the high side.
