Thousands more. That's not even the actual predators or like a pedo ring, just the people who are downloading CP. A lot won't even get caught because they use methods to avoid detection and don't interact with others/share files. Can't speak on North America but a lot of people are getting caught using torrent services with no VPN or a VPN willing to hand over their information, these aren't complicated people like the ones running networks and rings on TOR that involve people all over the world doing the worst things you can imagine.
It’s not even just actual offending pedophiles downloading that shit, the majority of the ones who get caught often have no criminal record or have ever offended against a child IRL.
But still have hard drives full of hundreds of thousands of pictures and movies.
They collect it and when you ask them why they risk career and their life as they know it, they can’t even provide a good answer.
It’s the weirdest and sickest thing. Like, how much would you need to fap for a lifetime? A few thousand videos? Some of these sickfucks have terabytes full of CP.
It’s like stamp collecting for some of these sickos.
Treatment options are limited at best, and every time they “stop a new darknet site” they act like it’s a major triumph, but it’s just the fucking tip of the iceberg.
Hopefully some day they’ll figure out what is biologically wrong with these peoples brains so it can be fixed.
It was a felony arrest any way you cut it. 2-3 cars isn't an unusual expectation. If they had foreknowledge- and I'm sure weens were calling the station and emergency services en masse- you always take extras for women or trannies because they will try and make PREA complaints, lewd statements, or claim officers sexually harassed them. Having more eyes on the situation is always good, even with bodycams in play.
It appears Chris was perfectly compliant, but you always take extras with you for a planned arrest if you have the manpower available.
Incidentally, someone should FOIA the bodycams. I'd be surprised if Richmond cops didn't have them.
This. The cops are getting dozens or hundreds of calls, on top of that they can see that he has prior arrests and isn’t right in the head. Cops don’t like to take chances these days and be accused of “gunning down” some sweet trans autist, so four cars doesn’t really reflect anything about how hard they intend to drop the hammer.
And yes! FOIA those tapes! I want to see the dear-in-the-headlights expression in Chris’s eyes as the jerkops descend and he realizes they’re there for him.
