Submission + - Police blotter: Teens prosecuted for racy photos

An anonymous reader writes: Two teens were prosecuted for having made and emailed racy photos of each other and are charged under anti child pornography laws.

Both were under 18 years old, hence their action (taking the pictures) is clearly illegal. However, the laws seem to have been intended to protect children from exploitative adults. This does seem to be a slippery slope right there.

Submission + - UK Conservatives Want to Slash National ID Card

VE3OGG writes: "While it would seem that both sides of the American political spectrum are in favour of the national ID card in America, the same cannot be said for Britain. Apparently, the sticking issue across the pond is wasted money: "As you will be aware, the Conservative Party has stated publicly that it is our intention to cancel the ID card project immediately on our being elected to government." Why is there such uniformity in the states, but disunity amongst the Brits?"
