No, I wouldn't agree with that, because of the following scenario set at
the shiny new CEOP headquarters:
"We're a bit low on arrests this month, George, I'm having trouble
getting next year's budgets approved. Any ideas?"
"No problem guv. There's a convicted KP fan working over at the
University. I'll give him a tug at 6am tomorrow and we'll go over his
hard drive. Bound to be a few files there he can't account for, and with
his record that's an automatic tenner under RIPA s53(6). The Sun'll run
the story if we give them an exclusive."
"Sorted. Get'im George!"
