As with any Librum Prohibitorum, the creation of it will encourage those who want "one stop shopping." ( Amazing, innit, the way that stuff stored in "evidence lockers" has a way of ending up on the street? )

"At present, officers log images within their own force, meaning that other forces might be investigating the same images. It is also difficult to determine if a picture is a new image."

Ah, here we have an issue; the conflation of "new" and "new to the internet."

Just because not all popular Victorian fiction hasn't been downloaded doesn't mean that a dime-novel about Frank Reade and another steam-powered marvel is "new."

And, as with most govt data created solely to prosecute; I am assuming that any successful public petition to access the info for the purpose of evaluation/exoneration which isn't blocked by the courts will find that the requested data was "accidentally" purged. ( Note: in the FBI terrorism stings, without exception, the otherwise flawless taping system mysteriously fails to record the portion of the convo between the suspect's reluctance to go through with the agent's plot and the moment they gain new-found resolve. The moment the defense claims is an instance of goading is the one thing which cannot be produced no matter how varied the recording equipment is. )

I think I can safely assume that any attempt to validate the notion that the bulk of KP prosecutions are clothed models or drawings will be met with similar disappearing evidence.
