They will be criminals if convicted. However possession of certain types of image, particularly those of children is a criminal offence. Exemptions where possession is permitted is for law enforcement purposes, for example seizure of a computer and the subsequent forensic investigation.

You can't believe a POLITICIAN is that retarded...? I can...

Me too.

This is the same group of people who took Jimmy Saville into their inner circle.

Yes, they _CAN_ be that arrogant to think they're immune from being caught.

FWIW: those whose JOB it is to research this stuff have specific Home Office licenses to do that research.

There's quite a bit of oversight of license holders.
