I mean, the footage is all public, right? Why shouldn't the cops be able to watch it with their own eyes, and determine if it's kosher?

    execution of the law is always more complicated than we want it to be. They could have been let off as the investigation continued if the victim told the cops "i did everything with full consent and it was all an act for the entertainment of the stream.". Cops/W/e the french version of DA is would possibly need to continue the investigation to show that either he was unable to consent to the actions or it was a lie that there was consent.

    I'm just a layperson and maybe it was more cut and dry and the cops really dropped the ball. It just doesn't seem so cut and dry legally to me. Will be interesting to see the outcome of the investigation from this.

    You know how NDAs are generally not enforceable in a court of law, no matter if the person "consented" or not, because some things are just not legal, and chances are theyre not knowledgeable enough to make that decision anyway? Kind of like how Statutory Rape works? Yeah. That, but with actual fucking torture thats broadcast publicly.

    Huh? Why are you bringing up NDA's?

    To be clear, the acts committed by these people are heinous. They should and hopefully eventually will face jail time. I'd be happy for employees or executives of kick to face similar. They are complicit as well.

    My argument was that execution of the law is hard and never as easy as we would like it to be.
