The Internet has been a game-changer for the way things are done. It has revolutionized the way people purchase products, obtain services, complete education programs, and communicate with one another. As the possibilities of the world wide web continue to grow, so does the opportunity to engage in conduct that the government has outlawed.
To counteract this, state and federal law enforcement agencies are consumed with investigating and prosecuting any illegal activities that are carried out in cyberspace. The result is that many individuals end up on trial for things they did not do or for activities that have been blown out of proportion.
