Excerpts from internet.cypherpunks: 6-May-96 Police tactics question by "E. ALLEN SMITH"@ocelot.
I've often heard of the police/postmaster mailing someone child pornography prior to going in and busting them for possession of it. What are the legal matters in such cases?
According to Bruce "Comstock was an amateur" Taylor, it's only legal for the Feds to let child porn out of their hands if they can monitor it. That is, they can let the postman deliver it to you, but they'll lie in wait and grab you when you tear open the envelope. -Declan
