Looking at Child Porn Is Totally Legal in New York State

Logic takes us strange places sometimes, like when a judge found herself writing this little gem: "The purposeful viewing of child pornography on the internet is now legal in New York." That's a sentence you'd want to wash your hands after committing to paper (heck, or wash your eyes after reading), but it comes at the end of a line of reasoning in an appeals court decision that makes sense even if it appears to provide a loophole for kiddie porn lovers.

Essentially, the court ruled on Tuesday, you can't be held responsible for things you just see online, even kiddie porn, the viewing of which isn't actually illegal under New York law. As MSNBC.com's M. Alex Johnson reports, the majority opinion by New York Court of Appeals Senior Judge Carmen Ciparik:

"Rather, some affirmative act is required (printing, saving, downloading, etc.) to show that defendant in fact exercised dominion and control over the images that were on his screen," Ciparick wrote. "To hold otherwise, would extend the reach of (state law) to conduct — viewing — that our Legislature has not deemed criminal."
​

It's true: Under article 263 of New York's penal code, it's illegal to create, possess, distribute, promote, or facilitate child pornography, but it's not illegal simply to view it. And the evidence in the case against Marist College Professor James D. Kent consisted of images found in a Web cache on his computer when he took it in to get it scanned for viruses.
As Johnson points out, federal child pornography laws don't mention browser caches, and just that evidence hasn't been enough to win federal convictions in the past. Since he didn't know the cache was capturing the Web content, Kent couldn't be held responsible for collecting them, the court ruled. Because as we all learned from this ruling, simply looking at child pornography is legal in New York. Gross.

Depraved!!!....waxing worse and worse. And watch someone in the name of freedom and rights condone this.

People don't want to wake up and see what's really going on.

Romans 1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

People don't understand that this is a spiritual battle. When you let some things pass, all the other spirits attached to depravity follow. The thing about people listening to arguments and doctrines of demons, is that a demon can make up incredibly good arguments because it comes from a spirit of deception. The devil twists and transfigures facts and then some people, actually believe them. So, now the depravity of the day is to get people to believe that child pornography is okay. I actually could see an agenda being set up for this in the near future and it's sad that some people can be convinced of such things. End times indeed which is why we must pray now more than ever!

pray without out ceaseing that is what we must do, it's not going to get any better ....

Right now, I'm too angry to make a calm comment.

However, thank you for making us aware of this. These judges in office need to be ejected and soon is not soon enough.

I am appalled.... This fool judge has literally legalized pedophiles to harm innocent lives of children, as if it's not already occurring far too much in the first place.

Why is she not fired and disbarred ? ? ? That sentence she wrote above is just so unnecessary.

I may sound like a conspiracy nut when I say this, I DON'T REALLY CARE!

This is most definitely, the next movement in a depraved sick agenda of the NWO! I truly believe this. There has been a sexualization of children in media I have observed for a while now, just look at Teen Nick and ICarly etc. Which is one of the reasons I got rid of our Television and my kids watch videos and shows that I sensor with the help of the Holy Ghost

The enemy wants to corrupt children. I could say more, but I'm disgusted right now!

This is a total agenda and satan is ultimately behind it!!!!

COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!!!

Yep! Why not, he got them to believe homosexuality, abortion, and divorce are okay! These things are old hat now!

Sorry, I posted my last post before reading your points that echo my thoughts, feelings and what I believe the Lord has been showing me for some time now! Nice to know Im not alone

The thing is that most people are asleep and when it actually goes down they cant believe it! It is time to focus on Jesus! He is surely about the come at ANY MOMENT!!!

The bolded are points that make the best reason for why, in addition to prayer, we engage people to discuss things such as these. Not quarrelsome, but persistently defending truth in the face of lies. When things happen in society, you can usually see and hear many lies and distortions surrounding it. That's how deception moves forward. People fill their minds with distortions of reality, and if left unchecked, embrace them as truth. We battle the spirit of deception while speaking truth. Truth and not just opinion, is a powerful spiritual tool.

I was looking at the 'Welcome' sign to New York.

The word 'empire' is about to expire...

It is only because of the praying saints of New York that God's mercy prevails.

Oh but God and His prevailing mercies. God protects his children in New York by sparing everyone...in spite of their legislative sin.
