Hello,

I'm supposed to be studying, but instead I find myself aimlessly perusing the internet. I came across this:

Utah to Track Porn Found at Crime Scenes

LOGAN, Utah - A sheriff's department in northern Utah is requiring deputies to begin documenting pornography found at crime scenes and during arrests.

 

Lt. Matt Bilodeau, spokesman for the Cache County Sheriff's Department, said that although no connection between legal porn viewing and criminal behavior has ever been proven, police have seen a steady increase in porn associated with crimes.


He likened the new tracking system to the approach police use with gang members.


"(Gangs) have certain clothes they wear, markings on their houses, tattoos," Bilodeau said. "Like gangs, people who use pornography have associated traits, and we'll define them so we can link them to crimes and pornography."


Dani Eyer, head of American Civil Liberties Union of Utah, compared the program to scouring a suspect's bookshelf and trying to create a criminal profile from the things that person reads.


"It's one thing to collect evidence to crimes, but it's another thing to link thought and association to crime," she said.

Oh, COME ON!! Can I conduct a study of people with pornography in their homes who DON'T commit crimes??

Now that that is off my chest I'd like to ask that you please read the next post which discusses the current problems I'm experiencing with my former website payment processor iBill. The situation is still unresolved and we're trying to work through it. We are now using Verotel as our main payment processor for subscription billings. Thanks so much to all of you members displaced by iBill who have rejoined via Verotel!

Many kisses,

Tanya
