Counterpoint: they weren't actively producing it, just using it as bait. But yeah, usually stings are not allowed to break laws. At this point, I'd leave it to the courts to settle this.

No.

It isn't 'using it as bait' when the contraband's distributed in greater numbers than ever prior and used by the perp for its intended purpose. It's distribution, entrapment, and a national disgrace.

The kids who're in the porn are entitled to violate the asshole of the Feeb's pocketbook, and everyone responsible for setting this operation up should at minimum lose their badges and be banned for life from practicing law enforcement.

Yes they were. Every time another digital copy of something is created, that's "producing" it.
 
This kind of shit is still happening even after the total PR disaster over the DEA's cartel gunrunning operation?
 
So they don't even want to talk about it. Holy fuck the FBI is worthless when it's not about celebrity nudes.

Yeah, the FBI thinks we should just "trust them". Nevermind with shit like this, and how they would rather drop cases rather than discuss their use of Stingrays.

Sorry for double post.
 
So now American's tax dollars are being used to produce literal child porn. Sadly this will receive about 1/10th the outrage the average sexist remark causes.

I hate VICE and despise Alternet, but these next two pieces are still worth your time:

This is some Winter-Hill-Gang shit.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Robert Bryan in Tacoma threw out the evidence in one of the first “Operation Pacifier” prosecutions, involving a Vancouver school employee named Jay Michaud. The reason: The FBI has refused a court order to reveal to Michaud’s defense attorneys the nature of the Tor vulnerability or how the NIT works.

Just like the stingray cases. In the stingray case, they let a drug dealer go, here they let a pedophile walk free because their hacking techniques are more precious.
 
I cannot imagine being a parent of a child whose abuse was exacerbated by the FBI, never mind an actual abuse victim themselves. The FBI is officially a Horrorcow. Never mind the inevitable civil cases that will result from this, there needs to be a criminal investigation here.

This is the kind of shit you'd think would happen in a South Park episode about nambla.
 
Lol, so a bunch of pedos are whining that they shouldn't go to jail because "we didn't know we were getting our kiddy porn from the FBI".

It doesn't matter how nasty the bastards in blatant entrapment cases are. The FBI could've busted R. Kelly in this sting and even a lobotomised DA would render the whole case worthless.

This shit is completely indefensible. Countless criminals who could've easily been taken down'll walk their charges, and thousands of children had their victimisation enthusiastically dissiminated by the very Men sworn to protect them.

What the fuck use is their hacking technique if they can't actually convict anyone with it?

Are they just addicted to their shiny toy?

I imagine that sadly the FBI like most modern law enforcement agencies is far more interested in amassing power and expanding their authority than actually catching dangerous criminals.
 
They could have just had us go after them. I mean a lot of these pedos will just straight up admit to being pedos with very little provocation. You don't really need some complicated honeypot.
