from BBC news, Police to monitor net chat rooms - which I rather thought they did already ..

but what caught my eye was this:

"He says the police are also stepping up efforts to persuade banks to withdraw credit cards from people who use them to pay for child pornography on websites."

is it just me who thinks this is just *wrong* ?

I thing it's wrong on several levels. First of all it's unethical. Secondly it's the thin end of the wedge. But thirdly, and most importantly, this will not stop people, but it will remove a means of traceability and proof, which is pretty bloody stupid.
