All over the world, police forces have been trying to crack down on paedophile rings who use the Internet to store and share their sick images, but now a new media has taken their attention - the satellite navigation system
The war against child abuse goes on all around the world. Special police forces, detectives and other organisations fight on a daily basis to shut down and close in on paedophile rings, yet these people who live amongst us are getting clever and intend to out smart the police again, and now investigating forces have found another media which child abuse monsters are about to claim as their own - the humble car sat nav.
According to Cornish and Devon police forces in the western part of England, they have strong reasons to believe that offenders are looking at other ways than just the ordinary home computer to share their abusive images - any way to avoid them being caught and charged and the sat nav is their next target.
According to Detective Inspector Simon Snell, who has spoken to Sky news this week, the problem is growing fast as child abuse rings search for more sophisticated ways to view and exchange their filth. He said,
"We've now found that they are using satellite navigation systems, games consoles and handheld computers. But we know they are using these systems, so we will seize them and forensically interrogate them."
Today we live in a world where just about anything can be viewed on a home computer from almost anywhere else in the world if you have the right equipment to do it and paedophiles have known this for a while now, so now they feel PCs are no longer safe, they look to find other ways of storing their images in the hope of not being found out. The police are trying to stay one step ahead of these people saying they will still be caught no matter what.
The Detective Inspector continued,
"The bottom line is that people in possession of these images of abuse will be caught and we will find the evidence, wherever they are hidden."
The age of the "e-crime" is here and according to the Inspector, the west of the UK is already looking into ways of catching paedophiles now mater where they try to store their images.
He also said he will be ensuring that more police staff in his area are taken on to help fight the ever more difficult and complicated crime.
