Mr. Schulte was arrested in August 2017 on federal child-pornography charges.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, sure they did.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>zionic</author><text>Abusing children is evil, fullstop. That said the current laws around CP are horrifically ripe for abuse by the sate.&lt;p&gt;FBI agents got a &amp;quot;covert search warrant&amp;quot;, entered his house without him knowing, then magically find unencrypted CP on his drives. This is the same agency that can interview you, &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; record it, write up their version of your &amp;quot;interview&amp;quot; as a &amp;quot;form 302&amp;quot;, then later charge you for lying to them if anything in their written version of your testimony is later shown to be false (no intent required on your part, if you said it rained last tuesday and it didn&amp;#x27;t you are guilty of lying to federal agents). No one should trust &lt;i&gt;anyone&lt;/i&gt; with that kind of power, and you&amp;#x27;d be naive to suggest such power has never been abused.</text></comment>
