HB 155 (Reporting of Child Pornography)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill mandates computer technicians to report any child pornography they discover to police. Failure to report is a class B misdemeanor.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. While we strongly support the effort to protect vulnerable children, this goes too far by introducing unintended consequences—over-reporting to prosecutors, charges against technicians who didn't see the child pornography prosecutors claim they did, etc. This bill is well meaning, but goes in the wrong direction.
