Isn't pr0n located 3 clicks away from any website?
In the goofiest waste of law enforcement time we've seen in weeks, an on-campus police officer for a Florida middle school is facing a criminal investigation over his MySpace account. Why? It turns out one of the people on his friends list had a link on his or her profile to an internet porn site.
Or, as the St. Peterburg Times puts it, "kids could navigate from Officer John's page on the social networking site to 'Amateur Match Free Sex' in just three clicks."
You're reading correctly. Gulf Middle School resource officer John Nohejl didn't have porn on his MySpace profile, and he didn't link to porn. But one of the 170-odd people on his friends list, which seems mostly populated by students at his school, had a link to a legal adult site. Now the New Port Richey Police Department and the Florida attorney general's elite cyber crimes unit are investigating him for making adult content available to underage children.
Nohejl set up his MySpace account late last year with the school's and the police department's support, in a laudable bid to communicate with students where they live.
Presumably, he was expected to check all of his friends' profiles every day for inappropriate links -- because a school cop has nothing better to do.
Lauren Weinstein of People for Internet Responsibility correctly calls the investigation a "witch hunt," and points out that the school itself can be accused of the same crime, if we're now holding people responsible for content three clicks away.Labels: court drama, internets, porn, school news

That's ridiculous. It's the internet for cripe's sake! XD
I'm mildly surprised when I get to a site where porn isn't one click away.
