Judges Attack FBI's Child Porn Case
from the due-process dept
Last year the FBI made a lot of news in cracking an online "child porn ring", but today judges started throwing out some of the evidence they collected, saying that the FBI lied to obtain the search warrants they used. I have nothing against the FBI hunting for child pornographers, but that doesn't mean they should toss due process out the window. As one of the judges said, there is "no lower standard when the crimes are repugnant and the suspects frustratingly difficult to detect."
