There are federal police forces, the BKA in Germany for example, that let child porn sites continue to operate. Under some sort of surveillance of course. The police is using these sites as bait for child porn consumers. The consumers get caught, which makes an excellent case for online surveillance legislation. “Excellent case” of course only, if the public is told “We got some child pornographers, because we were able to spy on them.” The public agrees, because almost nobody likes child pornography. This sort of police work has come to light in a case where they tried to discredit the Java Anon Proxy, an anonymity network. The police is not interested in child pornography per se. Although the individual policeman probably is. Their right to exist is to protect a system, be there criminals or not.

Nobody wants to walk to the middle man for every piece of crap they toss out.
