    Doesn’t this imply the cops generated and distributed images depicting minors? Pretty sure that’s against the law.

      Cops are allowed to break the law while pursuing a case in the US (not sure if that’s true elsewhere). That said, there may be restrictions on context, content and actions they can or can’t take. However, I bet you could make a pretty decent argument that they were using it legitimately in this context.
