Why didn't you contact the police first?

Yeah honestly if I saw something like that I would have saved an offline copy on a USB stick and handed it to police for investigation. The problem that it even happens is much greater than the problem of online distribution, and deleting it and pretending it didn't happen isn't a satisfactory response.

Maybe not a great idea. In some places, that puts you in possession, and is enough for prison time, regardless of your motives.
Wow that's a shitty legal system, okay ... I guess we the people have chosen to just let it happen and fear speaking up as witnesses.
Seriously, talk to your lawyer before doing any such thing.
I have done work for lawyers in exactly this scenario. Be very very careful.
You do not want to have to explain to explain the provenance of such a file without having someone to back you up.

Yeah that must be great to walk around with...

because when you live in a 1st world country as a foreigner it's safer to assume all cops are pigs. I did report it to the FBI though.
