Police attempt to emerge from the 19th century

Dealing with computer crime is tough when your training is a couple of
centuries behind the times; including the court system that finds
people guilty on false evidence because it is not understood.

New evidence I have gathered for my work as an expert witness in defence
cases shows that thousands of cases under Operation Ore have been built
on the shakiest of foundations - the use of credit card details to sign
up for pornography websites. In many cases, the card details were
stolen; the sites contained nothing or legal material only; and the
people who allegedly signed up to visit the sites never went there.
