From everything you've said, they had a valid search warrant. Probable cause is easily gotten through these skype logs you keep referencing. Once the search warrant was executed, they likely had enough to easily convince the crown that you should be arrested.
Contraray to what TV may habe you believe, you don't need to be read your rights instantly upon arrest, only before an interrogation that will be used as evidence. Same goes for your right to not speak.
I'm not sure why you think it's an abuse of power for you to be arrested, given that you're more than willing to admit you have broken laws.
First off all, I've known most of these police officers since I was like 12, and they know I'm not a threat, so sending 4 people was just silly. Even though they have a valid warrant, they, according to the laws of Norway, have to show a warrant, and prefferably 3 days in advance. Legally they have to read me my rights, because according to them, I had the status 'siktet' before even arriving at the station.
Unless you actually have the Norwegian rule book infront of you I'd rather if you just stopped posting in my thread, as your retarded non-sence is starting to piss me off.

Just because you aren't read your rights doesn't mean you don't have your rights, reading them is just a common procedure made for the public to remind them that these rights exist and it would be preferable for them to use them.
Also if they arrested you that means they probally had a warrant given out by court, since CP is kinda of a touchy subject even the slightest hint that you have something to do with it would issue a search warrant, i'm confused about the arrest part though, they should have more than an IP address and some Skype logs... depending on what's in the logs...
And bring up old-cases isn't forbidden, it's bringing up irrelevant cases that have nothing to do with the current one. I don't remember the exact reason but probally because two different trials have nothing to do with eachother and the fact that if someone is guilty or not-guilty sentence shouldn't be affected by previous offenses. Determinating the punishment is another thing though...
As mentioned before, the laws here are kind of retarded compared to most first world countries, but if the person asks to have their rights read, the officer can't just deny to do that, and if the person asks for a lawyer, they should get the option to choose between a public one, or one that you already have, and they shouldnt tell you to wait every time you ask for one, continue to ask questions, and when you go quite, say that if the person doesn't talk he'll have to stay in the jail untill the next day.
