    Detectives who work on CSAM cases. They have to watch, document, and describe the offending material in order to enter it as evidence. Then they get undeserved hatred for working with law enforcement.

      My first thought was, what if a pedo became a csam detective.

      And then, what if they had really strong moral convictions, so they’d never act on their desires, but they also enjoy their job.

        Interesting moral thought experiment.

        If they never physically offend, and watching all of it, documenting it, and submitting it puts away those who do physically offend, and it saves someone else the trauma of having to watch it…

          Interesting how from a purely utilitarian POV, this is a clear cut net positive, but the idea is… cold.

            Just the iky feeling that they’d be getting off on the videos is what makes me stop short of saying it’s a good idea. Like… it’s just hard to say okay to something like that.
