Bet you didn’t know your tax dollars were being spent like this!
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Did you know that each year $150,000 of your tax dollars are being paid to retired police officers to sit on their ass all day looking at a porn sites to see if they are “obscene” This amount has been paid each year since 2002, for a total of $750,000 worth of your tax dollars.
The only good thing about this article, as printed in AVN Online, is that the Justice Department is considering NOT renewing the grants.
Well duh! After 67,000 sites were reported as obscene, NO PROSECUTIONS TOOK PLACE. Yeah, I guess would seem to be a waste of money.
The bad thing being reported in this article is the fact that the Justice Department has also been financing an organization called MORALITY IN MEDIA, whose goal is to “rid the world of pornography”. Doesn’t have to be obscene, just porn, and we, the tax payer, has been paying for this shit for two years and the Justice Department is now sitting on the fence trying to decide whether or not to renew the grant for a third year. Hell, MORALITY IN MEDIA is a consevative, religious group! WTF ever happened to the separation of chuch and state?

Morality in Media Program Grant May Be in Danger
WASHINGTON - A Department of Justice grant that pays retired law officers to patrol websites for obscene material may be nearing its end.
A Congressional earmark, which Republican Rep. Frank R. Wolf of Virginia had inserted into a spending bill, created the two Justice Department grants that have paid officers $150,000 each per year to review websites for obscene material and identify purveyors who should be prosecuted.
Justice Department officials reportedly are on the fence about drafting a third grant for Morality in Media, a conservative religious group formed in 1962 to “rid the world of pornography.”
The officers paid by the grant review Internet-obscenity complaints made at ObscenityCrimes.org. Nearly 67,000 complaints from state and U.S. attorney districts have been filed since June 2002, according to data presented on the website. No prosecutions have been made.
