I believe we allow behavior we don't think should have been criminalized in the first place.

It's not a matter of acting as our moral conscience, but of protecting us. If we discuss with someone their plans for murder, we could be prosecuted (at least in the States.) It is a crime to plot murder. Conspiracy and assessory before the fact are the two most common crimes we could be charged with. As to the child porn, let's just say anyone into that shit deserves far worse than being turned into the authorities.
