... the proposed law says no such thing.

You didn't ask, but here is my objection to this kind of law AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED.

I *might*, *might* be in favor of such a law if it stiplated that there must be a "collection" i.e. several images of such material.

Why? Because you can click a link with a topless model and suddenly be on a page with something you really did not wish to see. At that point, it is in your browser cache so it is therefore on your hard drive whether you invited it or not.

I do not trust law enforcement to make a distinction, as I've seen how they operate. And I believe that at the root of a lot of the unease over this sort of law, you find people who don't trust LE, the courts OR the public/juries to enforce the law as it was intended.

Lastly, people who look at this stuff are already sick, people are putting the cart before the horse, trying to pass laws perhaps well meaning but destined to accomplish nothing. Like most gun laws.
