Wow, just straight up admitting to being a psychopath. That’s one strategy, I guess.

10 years is not enough for someone that lacking in humanity. Good lord, I feel sick.

That means that somebody(s) had to go through those videos looking for clues. Probably means that this poor soul is traumatized for life by what they’ve seen. Just awful. If anyone could ever come up with a beneficial use for AI, maybe it could be in extracting clues from these sorts of materials and saving humans the bulk of the trauma.

I’m not in favor of the death penalty, but that guy needs to be locked up for the rest of his life. He’s literally a danger to society, by his own admission.

Cruelty to animals as a kid is a very common symptom for future mass murderers. His danger is not just to the furry, helpless and cute. He needs to be out of circulation.

For child sex abuse material the investigators produce redacted images so that the people who specialise in looking for location clues don’t have to see the abuse.

I had a friend who do did that for a while, and although the material is censored he’s never been the same and lives alone in the woods now.

Investigators still have to look at the original images/videos though.
I absolutely understand that it is necessary in order to bring those criminals to justice and make them pay for their crimes by cataloguing evidence, etc. However I would never ever be able to do that, and I mourn for those that do.

I’m not in favor of it either, but I will admit reading even this short of an excerpt does make me wonder about my stance on it. I think this would be one of those cases of “I can’t be on a jury for this as I am absolutely incapable of being impartial.” I’m thankful to not be trying to decide a “fair” sentencing for such a thing.

From the article
Including time already served, Britton could be eligible for parole in September 2028. He is also banned from owning any mammals for the rest of his life.
So I guess birds, reptiles and amphibians still need to worry.
And this:
Asked how to dispose of the dogs’ remains, Britton - who shared his sprawling property on the outskirts of Darwin with eight crocodiles - said “some I feed to other animals”.
He was only caught after uploading a clip in which he tortured at least eight dogs - all except one were puppies - which was passed on to NT police in an anonymous tip-off.
Horrific.

It’s a pretty common theme these days. OTOH, I am feeling better now than I was few weeks ago, so maybe?

My digital forensics prof did side work like that for the police. He was a deeply damaged man because of it.
