It must be tough to be a policeman. People call you and want you to arrest people who aren't breaking the law.
Of course, sometimes you do just that, because...you can. The whole child endangerment thing has gotten a little out of hand. There is a mob mentality among the do-gooders. The video on this page is pretty amazing.
Thoreau was right:
There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted. It is human, it is divine, carrion. If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life, as from that dry and parching wind of the African deserts called the simoom, which fills the mouth and nose and ears and eyes with dust till you are suffocated, for fear that I should get some of his good done to me — some of its virus mingled with my blood. No — in this case I would rather suffer evil the natural way.

Then there's the Manassas police, who have decided that the way to fight (consensual) sexting "child pornography" is to create some child porn of their own.
