The UK National Crime Agency and The-Doll-House Case Dropped

[The-Doll-House]

Thanks for sharing.

The system looks similar in the UK.
The potential law to break, is in importing something obscene, so is governed by Customs & Excise, and yet policed by the UK Police force.

We had a WM 140cm Large Breast doll seized at customs, as they deemed it a child sex doll (likely a religious zealot) and then they forwarded the UK National Crime Agency after me because of this.

Then they used this as reasoning to gain a court order for a search warrant, to go through everything electronic, looking indecent child media - of which none was found, naturally.
Then the case is dropped as they said there was little likelihood of a prosecution - so the dolls are not the problem.
They are using faux moral outrage in the media to justify the vilification of doll owners, and encourage them back into standard relationships (IMHO).

They are treating the symptoms, rather than the root cause of the issue.

I'm not sure if this is on topic, but it is related;

About a year and a half ago I was looking at ordering a 140cm doll from a Chinese vendor to be shipped to Sweden (EU). I had heard rumours about potential child-pornography cases and that the police could give me trouble, so I decided to send them an email and ask.

The reply I got at first was very short and impolite, as if the representative disagreed about the whole thing; they basically told me to check with Customs, as it was their job, not the police's. So I did, and got the exact opposite reply; I had to check with the Police, as it was their job.

Fair enough, I sent another email to the police, explaining the situation and what I needed the doll for (a couple of stop-motion scenes in an independent music video - nothing sex related, which was true in this case) and also that I could go with either size but the smaller ones would be less cumbersome and easier to deal with on set, etc. This time I got a rather long reply which basically said that the overall "look" of the doll is more important than it's size, but also that they could not guarantee anything as there were no documented rules available. From what I understood that means that a big doll with childish looks (flat chested, non-curvy body and childlike face, etc) would potentially be at risk, while a small but busty/curvy adult looking doll would be much less so.

I ended up ordering the 140cm doll with C-cups and a somewhat curvy body. The delivery went perfectly fine and I had no issues.

Just thought I'd share.

This is the overall problem. Nobody knows what is/isnt allowed. Dolls are allowed no matter how they look. In the end all they can do is take all your computer stuff and search for illegal data. In the and all they can do is disallow the doll and they send it back to whereever it came from, since no human was harmed.
