I don't disagree entirely with your post, as with most things legal it comes down to a balance of many aspects.

I also don't disagree entirely with the point RMS is trying to make regarding unmotivated searches of property and person. I do disagree with the specifics of his argument though.

Child pornography is in many cases indeed a heinous offense, however blanket searches of person and property is also a grand invasion of privacy.
