And if someone reports me because they've seen child porn on my computer, then if you legally seize my computer and find child porn search terms and indexing files on there but not the files, then yes, that is considered enough to hold someone from being in public, where they could, you know, harm a child.
But not for possession. For things like obstruction of justice and maybe contempt of court.
In US law, there is, of course, the presumption of innocence, but again, let's say that the guy is telling the truth, that is, he can't remember his password. Then what? Does he stay in jail "forever" over that fact? As far as being a threat to children, the guy is not accused of any child abuse, and even for child sexual offenders, their sentences are typically not life-without-parole sentences.
I never stated they should hold him forever. They should charge him with something or let him go until they can. I don't agree with him being held without being charged, I'm saying they have enough to charge him with something now.
The maximum penalties for obstruction and contempt of court are similar to first offense CP charges in most areas. He won't be a sex offender, though.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
