Everyone loses.

The article said the kids have not been arrested yet so they have not lost....yet.

Seriously?... wtf. This world is just ridiculous

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if the evidence is obtained illegaly it can't be used against him in court. How could the police get a warrant for something someone admitted to stealing from someone else? Of course it looks like he admitted to owning the porn which fucks it all up to begin with.


I still hope he gets ass raped in prison. Just sayin

Evidence obtained by civilians is admissible. Only the police need a search warrant.

So you're cool with me producing some evidence I "stole" from your house? How do they know I stole it from your house, and didn't just fabricate it?

Good point. Are not thieves normally liars too?

Well that's why the police investigated his house, proving that the thief wasn't lying.

there are people on this board who know much more about this than I do.

It just seems fishy to me that a judge would issue a search warrant based on the statements of admitted criminals

It's called reasonable suspicion policemen use it all of the time. if they have reasonable suspicion that you have drugs in your car because they see a crack pipe, then they have the legal right to search your car. Same thing w the house the kids turned the porn in and said where they got it even though they stole it the judge can issue a warrant based off of the evidence. Also the article said upon the search they found two laptops and two external drives with the child pornography which makes the previouse evidence conclusive to any trial he his brought up on. Basically this guy is fucked because he also admitted to owning those items, and saying the porn wasn't his doesn't negate the fact that he owns the items the porn in stored on. That's like saying "oh yes sir that's my crack pipe but that's not my crack that's in it"
