There was an instance years ago of a law enforcement officer sending child porn to someone, then arresting them for possession of child porn. The conviction stuck.

Without knowing the specifics of the case, I would imagine that there was a prior conversation about naked kids going on before any images were sent. If someone suddenly sends you unsolicited child porn and you don't immediately delete it, scrub your hard drive and tell the sender to die in a fire, you may deserve your conviction.

Yup, that's what I suspected.

When I was in law school, one of the cases we studied on the subject of Entrapment was about a guy who the cops had been sending catalogs for illegal porn for something like 20 years and for all that time he wrote angry letters to the return address, told them to stop, etc. Later, as a now old man and after his wife died he ordered something and they arrested him. I don't recall its course through the courts, but he was released.

Louisiana...

Given that the authorities claim he made some of the videos....

16 year olds should probably not be making sex tapes, but there has to be an allowance made if they're both under the age of 18. Teens are gonna teen. You shouldn't be charged with a felony because you managed to get your dick wet before you ordered your first beer.

"Teens are gonna teen."

Yup, and we've all been there. it seems ridiculous to make any kind of reasonably teen stupidity illegal. I would certainly have spent some time in jail for some of the stupid stuff I did as a teen, had we been caught, especially these days. Of course, there is still unreasonably teen, and that's another matter.

Shit, I'd probably still be in jail if we applied today's standards.

Something something...domestic terrorism...something something...3 strikes...something something...

Oh, yes. Mostly harmless things we did for fun would probably land us in the clinker for terrorism, maybe for decades. I'm sure there must have been a local police file on us. But back in the 80's, it was probably filed under, "Some Stupid Kids are Being Stupid and Freaking Some Adults Out." Now-a-days, it would be filed under "Domestic Terrorism."

Now, as an adult, I can clearly see how stupid it was, but God, it was fun at the time!

Dry ice bombs+public places=fun

I was slightly more advanced than dry ice bombs. I was making my own fireworks as a teenager, and used some of the local parks (after dark of course) for testing purposes. That and you run of the mill vandalism.

I look back and the main thing I ask myself is "why the fuck was it so easy for a teen to get black powder?!?"

If I could go back in time, I think I would mainly slap myself upside the head and tell myself that my taxes will end up paying for repairing the next generation's efforts. And probably provide some alternate testing locations...

I don't know how it is these days, but buying model rocket engines was no big deal in the 80s. We used to hack-saw them open, then crush them with a hammer between layers of newspaper.

We didn't vandalise anything, but I'm pretty sure we freaked some people out.

MY vandalism consisted mainly of "taking out" the streetlights in the local parks so I could book it in to the woods unseen should the local constabulary arrive on scene.

I did mess with the rocket engines a bit, but I had a "mentor" who was teaching me the basics of fireworks. That geezer probably didn't realize I wasn't using my newfound powers for good.

This is why I only carry a burner phone that doesn't have data. The replacement battery cost more than the phone, about 11 bucks, and no grief. Also, I probably only use it 3 or 5 times a month in any calls, while you are at it, GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN.

You carry a burner because you're concerned about random teenagers sending your pictures of their tits?

Barring that a teen does get a hold of my number or steam address, yes I do fear these things. I work in special education specializing in behavior disorders. Let us say poor impulse control gets these students in so much trouble very quick in life, like sexting.

Thats why i carry mine.

Mine is on my persons, password locked, and shut off.

You burn random teens with pictures of your tits?

Damn, those are some hot tits.

Hot & Snappy.
