Too bad we don’t treat child pornography like we do marijuana
Two local residents were arrested and charged with drug crimes on Tuesday after the Washington County Narcotics Task force executed a search warrant at their home. They found two pounds of pot, along with nine marijuana plants.
On January 31, 2008, Washington County law enforcement officers executed a search warrant in the home of Robert A. McKee. They seized two computers, 30 videotapes, and printed materials from his home that officers described as being child pornography. At the time of the search warrant and the discovery of child porn, McKee was an elected delegate to the Maryland House of Delegates. He was also the executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County.
Robert McKee was not arrested. Robert McKee has yet to be charged with any crimes.
I don’t understand how possessing marijuana causes you to be immediately arrested and charged with a crime, but possessing child pornography does not. Which is worse, marijuana or child porn?
Robert McKee was forced to resign from the Maryland House of Delegates and from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County.
