Ugh!

A police officer pulls a man over for driving the wrong way and finds the guy is nude from the waist down. And that's just the beginning:

After pulling the man over, Sgt. Don Woods discovered the man was naked from the waist down as he downloaded images on a laptop computer of a young girl involved in a sex act with an adult.

Investigation showed the man had hooked into a wireless computer network at a nearby house to gain access to a resident's Internet connection and download images from child pornography websites.

The scheme, known as "war driving," allows a computer with wireless Internet capability to tap into a wireless home network and access the World Wide Web, usually without fear of discovery.

"We have never laid a (war driving-related) charge before," Det.-Sgt. Paul Gillespie said yesterday.

"And I'm not aware of any similar charges being laid in Canada," Gillespie said.

[...]

Walter Nowakowski, 36, of Delhi, is charged with possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography, distributing child pornography, making child pornography and theft of telecommunications.

Police who searched Nowakowski's home say they, "have been exposed to some of the worst child pornography they've ever seen. "

So a simple traffic stop ends up netting a guy whose committed acts of public leqdness, internet piracy, and engages in child pornography. This is part of why I couldn't be a cop. I don't think I could take this kind of stuff.
