Civilian sex stings aim at ‘street justice’

“When a vigilante does something like this and exposes somebody, you can’t use what they’ve gathered,” Kirshy said. “There’s no chain of custody, there’s no guarantee that what they have created — that being the video or the audio — is accurate.”

There’s no procedures or protocols being followed in civilian operations and therefore no way to establish who’s on the other end of the phone.

“The goal of law enforcement is not to get hits on an online video, it’s not to make money,” Kirshy said. “There’s no other goals there for law enforcement other than the enforcement of law and the punishment of people who deserve punishment.”

    These comments have true thought to them and yes even michaels “hingsight” or the one about the underground railroad has meaning. Sure we can all look at situations differently. Sure I am white and I’m just as proud as the black man or the red man but when justice goes a miss than its time to speak up for truth. See pride and proud are to opposites.

    One of my chaperones since my parents are deceased is part Cherokee and we happen to meet in VA were I live since I am from W,VA and she is also. Did not government treat the American Indian bad, what about many blacks. The point is this registry is vain and unjust in any American state in many ways. Even this penal system needs to be revamped or do you think they would send a sex offender to war from prison if war broke out.

    Now Florida is unique. Yes I loved the spanards and the spanish colony history their. Florida has a good heritage but it was not always guns and roses so to speak. This registry is not always guns and roses or a walk in the park. either one speak up, stand up, as we all go around in life once and we all that are involved in this registry can make a difference to help true American Justice for all. Hay I’m not scared to write the President or the Governor and I even an debating on doing that over me getting my rights back.

      Actually

      Adam West was not the original Batman.

      Lewis Gilbert Wilson was an American actor, who was most famous for being the first actor to play DC Comics character Batman on screen in the 1943 film serial Batman.

      Yes I cheated and Googled it, I didn’t even know that.
