Subject: RE: BS: Fools In The Real World
On the three occassions (since I've been here) that we've had child porn accessed on the library public computers, the cops have been very diligent. They take the hard drives (which we replace) and turn them over to the FBI (the Western Technology Facility is here in town), where the drives are cloned, thoroughly examined, and the evidence returned to the local cops.

Mind you, we only call the cops when something truly illegal, such as child porn, is involved.

Adult porn viewers are simply banned from using the public Internet stations.

We're investigating a filter for the Internet. For one thing, we can't get any money from the Universal Service Fund (E-rate money) or from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) unless we have one. And money's tight enough -- our budget was cut by better than 10% compared to last year.
