I’ve worked with a lot of LEOs who handle these cases. I’m not sure I’d characterize them as wanting things to be as easy as possible even at the expense of civil liberty.
How do you prove possession of CP if all the data is on encrypted drives? What sort of additional effort do you think is necessary?
they can be. it just takes more law enforcement effort. they want their jobs to be as easy as possible, even at the expense of civil liberty.
