This law, and any like it, are not YOUR friend. Any enemy of yours - or even a bored teenager - can accuse you, and YOU have to spend money in court to prove you didn't.
That's how the anti-porn law passed by the Shipley crew in the 90s works.
Guilty until proven inncent.
So it's easy to stitch someone up: just hide some kiddy porn in their garage and then tip off the police.
They are GUILTY.
NZ uses these laws so they don't have to spend money on prosecution / enforcement.
The justice system is VERY cheap if everyone is guilty all the time....and the powers that be could potentially get to decide who gets picked off.
Wide open to abuse. Few checks...no balance.
