Protect Cullman’s children, but stop hiding the playbook
No one should mistake this position for sympathy toward anyone who attempts to prey on a child.
If a person knowingly seeks sexual contact with a minor, communicates with someone he believes to be a minor or travels to meet a child for an unlawful sex act, that person should be investigated, arrested, prosecuted and, if convicted, punished to the fullest extent of the law. Protecting children is not optional. But protecting children also cannot become a public relations exercise where the public is told to applaud arrests while being denied basic answers about how an operation was conducted, who controlled it and what public safety benefit it produced for the community where it was staged. That is the concern with the recent Cullman operation involving the Cullman Police Department, Cullman County District Attorney’s Office and Covenant Rescue Group, a private nonprofit that assists law enforcement with child exploitation operations. The March operation resulted in five arrests. According to the public information released at the time, the men arrested were listed from Killen, Somerville, Maylene, Hamilton and Toney. None were listed as Cullman residents. That matters. If Cullman police and prosecutors were investigating local offenders preying on local children, that is one thing. If an outside organization and local law enforcement created an operation that drew men from across the region into Cullman, that raises a different set of questions. Why Cullman? Were these suspects already targeting children in Cullman County? Were they communicating with people they believed were local children? Were online profiles, ads or decoy accounts placed in a way that specifically drew suspects into Cullman? Who initiated the conversations? Who controlled the undercover communication?

We just made a post about how this group, Covenant Rescue, lures the men. We have someone in our group who is very familiar with how this group does this. This is what it looks like:

This is what they call catching child predators.
Interesting read.
What bothers me is the Email attacks of porn spam that never occurred before; AFTER submission of my email address.
This has to be a targeted attack by law enforcement or multiple groups who think they are doing gods work.
I’m not sure what happened to the Rule of Law. Or why the police are able to attack.
They will never stop doing this tactic. Everyday is a spam attack of nasty porn emails.
I don’t do porn. My wife sees what’s happening. She’s not impressed by these tactics. She just prays I get back off the registry again.
Retroactive relisted after 2 decades removed. Legislation in Florida has locked me out of relief. Which passed after I was released from registry.
Ron Kleiner is putting together a plan of relief if we can keep our heads above water until it comes. Need more people in the same boat.
Pisses me off everyday being relisted. It’s a punishment. My anxiety and anger are off the charts.
Listening to neighbors hurl drunken insults and yelling death threats at my family.
I have no words to express my grief.
The world can kiss my ass. Florida has had many legislators that belong on this list and probably protect others close to them. Law enforcement is highly suspicious and corrupt the constitution by these attacks.
I’m not impressed with the tactics. I’m just to old for stupid stuff. 30 years ago I got fooled by a younger girl. Today I’m married. Where do we draw the line of distinction?
Due process does not exist. Rule of law has been broken.
The War on Sex drags on.
Repeal SORNA. Repeal Florida retroactive laws that walk around the State and Federal Constitution. This is ridiculous.
I believe we should be pushing for full transcripts of these conversations after all these operations. It will definitely shine some light on their shady tactics and maybe damage public support for this foolishness.
If the person accused initiates the conversation vs law enforcement initiating the conversation and continuing it. Fine line between the person desiring to commit a crime and entrapment.
