I think you asked the same question on this list several years ago, and 
were informed of R v Mould (2000). There are several other examples but 
that is the stupidest. (The fact that Mould's jail sentence was reduced 
on appeal makes no difference to the fact that he was _prosecuted_ for 
one image, of a child on a beach).

Whether the police have become more or less stupid since then I do not 
know. I would guess more, judging by the increasingly ridiculous 
hysteria over CRB checks and the like.
