Reply to comment by gentleghosts in Former owner, chef of Rogue Gentlemen gets 9 years for child porn by Early_District_2796

>2012 ussc suggestions to congress would still pin johnny to the mat. the enhancements they suggest in one of the three areas is based on type of content, volume in possession, age of the victims, types of misconduct depicted, and how they’ve organized and maintained the collection over time.

What USSC has always suggested is that these enhancements need to be revised because virtually everyone gets hits with them. It means that the 5 year minimum is pointless because no one actually ever gets the minimum.

It's basically technology. In 1985, if you had 15,000 pirated songs in your possession, you were seriously into it in a way that was not just like personal hobby use. By 2005, it was pretty common to have that many songs. You can just hop on a torrent and get thousands of videos or images, legal or illegal. You just download a motherlode of stuff and watch/play/listen to what you want.

There is a minimum 5 year penalty for receiving child porn. There is no minimum for possession. But if you did not produce the porn, but you have it, you must have somehow received it. So everyone starts at 5 years.

And because no one is perusing everything and collecting one item at a time, and just downloading big torrents or whatever, they automatically get stuck with several enhancements. So now the real minimum is not 5 years, it's closer to 10. This is all stupid.

>oh baby, the hill you are choosing to die on tonight is sus.

Maybe. But I guess I will die on this hill along with Ketanji Brown Jackson and the majority of criminal judges in the US.

I mean if it’s a storied brand like Henkel Harris or Suter’s, you can do well. But most folks aren’t just letting that stuff go. I mean, if it’s actually nice stuff, maybe consider consigning it with a place like Izzie’s.

Reply to Strange question but where in this area have people seen wild turtles? by ProximaCentauriB15

There are almost always turtles sitting on logs or chilling in the water off the potterfield memorial bridge. If you want and look down from above you can see them sunbathing, sometimes as many as 10-15 of them. Because it is still kinda cold, they may not be around rn, but def in early spring

Reply to comment by systematical in Where to find arrest records/specific information on a crime? by [deleted]

Once they’re running from you they are no longer a threat. And the push down could’ve caused head trauma, and the suspect was already retreating so it wasn’t necessary.

I’m not a nut, I just don’t defend rampant thuggery in the guise of “home defense”. Seen too many “they were running away when shot in the back” stories where the shooter gets away with it because of right wing style home defense laws, aka you can kill anyone for any reason even at the moment they’re not actually a threat to you. That’s called murder. Or assault.
