Dumb Pipe

I just want a dumb pipe. In cases like child porn (or whatever is illegal in any specific jurisdiction) let law enforcement deal with it. If you get caught with 2 kilos of cocaine in your car on a toll road nobody expects the owners of the road to be responsible for it. Why should we expect a higher standard for ISPs. We have officers that patrol the highways and streets, why not the internet? Apply all the same rules. If it is in plain sight (on open web page, ftp, etc) then no warrant needed (on the internet). Capture the pages and get a warrant for the physical location.

FBI computer crimes does patrol the US part of the net. but governments make laws like this because they are afraid of free flowing information and they are feelgood laws. here in the US for example if they tried it they would guise it as squashing child porn. because you instantly win when its about the children. aka a "feel good" law.

making the ISPs do it is like saying EZ-Pass has to somehow know if cars are moving illegal goods and not raise the gate at the toll booth. but there is no need because the state police patrol those roads.
