28. i almost agree
i would agree that "unknowingly possessing" should be the standard to hold the evidence to (if the person did not know or could not have reasonably known then he is free to go), or immediate discovery - a concept were if a person finds it they notify law enforcement immediately. however there is no reason to posses kiddie porn. i agree in your post where you point out the repair shop scenario, truly a disturbing thought, however any detailed analysis will show the last time the file was accessed, if it truly was installed 2 years ago with another program - ok, no harm, however if the file has been accessed every week along with others of the same ilk then no - do not pass, go straight to jail.

i understand the use of anon tips, i prefer that also as then i don't have to take off work to go testify - however i am a little suspicious that there is such an epidemic of innocent people turning in their hard drives they just found kiddie porn on and getting arrested.
