I recently walked into a large Sydney camera store and ventured to the
"pro section" to purchase some Fuji Provia. I was astounded that the
person serving me was an ex-photog who is currently in the midst of
a child porn investigation. He worked with his uncle who has been charged
and a trial is due.
My question is, should I make the store owner aware of who is working for him?
Am I being vigilant or is it sheer bloody mindedness on my part?
Is this really none of my business?
I must admit this sort of thing boils my blood quickly.
This is a tough question. If you are friends with the shop owner, I
would definitely tell him. I'm going to make the assumption that laws
in Oz are similar to the USA. If they perv is using store equipment,
it could be confiscated as part of the investigation.
However, according to how I read the above, only the uncle has been
charged. There may not be enough evidence linking the guy to the
uncle's activities.
As the father of two daughters and having a friend whose daughters
were molested by an uncle, I'm all in favor of doing everything
possible to make these guys' lives a living Hell but that requires
that you be absolutely certain of guilt. In the US some parents have
caught Hell for taking a picture of their 3-year-old in the bathtub.
