As rare as actual child porn is, the government loves these cases because the defendant is considered guilty before even being arrested, certainly before he gets in front of a judge&#x2F;jury and there&#x27;s so much taboo around the issue that most people are unwilling to come to the aid of the defendant. Come to think of it, I could say the same thing about terrorism cases (which are even rarer). And yes, the message they&#x27;re constantly sending is that pretty much the whole Bill of Rights has been repealed, not just the 5th.
