In the UK what is the position if you have illegal photos on your computer?

Question

s*x offenders are finding ways to store THEIR photos on YOUR computer without you knowing. If they are found on your PC YOU can be charged with possession of and placed on the s*x offenders register. Does this seem right when you had no knowledge that they were there?

The same applies to drugs ect that may have been placed in your home by someone else without your knowledge

Answer 1

no because everything can be traced back no matter what

Answer 2

This is scare-mongering. There is no way for nonces to hide thier pictures on your computer, and why would they take that risk anyway ?

Similarly, has anyone ever really had drugs (of an arrestable quantity) hidden in ther home by an outsider without knowing it... Really ?

If someone is stupid enough to let that happen, they get all they deserve. To be honest, the paedo hiding files on someone elses computer sounds like an excuse cooked up by someone to try to avert blame for storing images on thier OWN computer after thay got caught, and it would be a feeble defense in court.

Answer 3

i dont have a computer so im safe............... :)

Answer 4

As long as you have a good firewall they can't access you computer, and what are you doing letting druggies into your house??

Answer 5

I would know if this garbage was on my computer and I personally would tell the police if it were there. It costs me a lot of money every year to keep the machine clean. The police in UK are not stupid, far from it. They know what is going on on the net much better than you could know. Your whole question is very far fetched and could almost be from a second rate movie. Are you maybe looking for places to keep 'stuff'? If you are then it's a waste of time in the places that you mention. Give it up and stick to reading factual books.

Answer 6
