yes I have came across child porn more than once...sad but true. But this is HOW the cops/fbi take it.

I will stop where I am at when checking a drive (I only check 80gb or bigger for resale) An..I don't spend to much time. I look in photos and then read folder names. People are pretty straight on folder names...make it easy for THEM to find it..and me, anyway back to the point. So once I find it I hand it over to the fbi and I let them take it from there. What you forget is this.



That hard drive was in someone computer. They used that computer...they have there OWN photos on that computer...your photos are not. They most likely paid for things using that computer. They never uninstall the messenger clients that have there login info/past chat logs. Did they clear there browser history...most likely NOT. Did they have Paypal? every sign onto there bank account?

I think you get the point. They want to know who I got it from. They may or may not get a hold of you. But simply give them any info they want....they just want to know WHERE you got the computer...if you remember. I don't all ways remember where I got that hard drive as people send me boxes all the time with them and I will check them fast for 80gb or bigger an the rest is dumped into a gaylord box.
