How would you resolve the issues with the police? The police are not and should not be judges. The man had “child pornography” on his phone, it was reported and the police did their job given the evidence they had.

Watch the TV show COPS to see how many times criminals lie to police officers during an arrest.

It’s unfortunate this man got caught up in this but the police did exactly their job. Commit a crime, have evidence, press charges. Arrest if is procedure.



He did resolve the issues with the police:

>The police had access to all the information Google had on Mark and decided it did not constitute child abuse or exploitation.

>Mark asked if Mr. Hillard could tell Google that he was innocent so he could get his account back.

>“You have to talk to Google,” Mr. Hillard said, according to Mark. “There’s nothing I can do.”

>Mark appealed his case to Google again, providing the police report, but to no avail.


But again, police are not judges.
