Those that claim to be helping law enforcement are still vigilantes. They aren’t preventing crimes. I’m not a big fan of law enforcement,
but I’m unsure as to what corporate policies that law enforcement defends.

Typical of those who’ve been in charge. IF the police don’t do what they SHOULD be doing….you get vigilante groups..which you then ATTACK. How about y’all persue the real criminals and leave common folk trying 5o help ALONE. Just like 2hat we are seeing on a large scale in our Presidential race….happens at local levels too.
MOST police are just as corrupt as high level politics we see playing out now.
They go after and attack the PEOPLE ….NOT criminals. They are not there to help us, they are there to enforce Corporate policies…(which many of …ARE NOT LAWS)
Stop attacking people when they begin to fight back.
It’s kinda clear what team they are on NO?

Some these so called catchers are committing crimes themselves like doxing using an electronic device to post the victim’s confidential information(phone number or their addresses…)without their consent which is illegal.
Cyberbullying will burn your trust with others, especially if co workers are supposed to shair phone numbers with each other, who wants work with these sociopaths if you can’t trust them with your phone number when they are recklessly throwing wild accusations at people that disagree with them, I know none of you will, you guys know what you people are doing is illegal.

I am so sorry that these vigilante groups proved incapable of protecting your cousin from that awful situation.

You clearly have not idea about social media. these children DO get on adult sites and forums. my family had to discover that my 13 yr old cousin was selling nudes on instagram and skout. if you think kids see a “are you 18?” and stop, you’re either naïve or willfully ignorant.

You are absolutely right. A lot of times, the predators will claim that they were entrapped. They clearly don’t have any idea what entrapment is. Entrapment would be if they were minding their own business and someone reached out to them at random, posing as a minor and enticed them into meeting up. The predator catchers do not reach out first, as doing so would greatly muddy up the waters. All the predator catchers have to do is sit back and wait and these lowlifes will come to them. Of course, a lot of the predators claim that they honestly thought that they were meeting up with another consenting adult. But, if that were really the case, they would pull out their phones and say “hey, let’s have seat and look through this together and clear this up right now”. Which of course, they never do LOL

Same Conundrum! I Hate to Say This, But, Most Attorneys That Focus on this Type of Law are Very Few! Most Attorneys Do Not Want to be Associated with this Type of Law….They are mostly married to Significant others, Have Families and Live and Thrive in Their Communities…so to Be Known to ‘DEFEND’ one of US, is, Well, a Major Concern, Etc!

Those That I have spoken to, in the past, YES, WANT STUPID MONIES UP FRONT…..And, I am Not So Sure, Any Of Them Really Know The Statutory Laws Etc….As Applied in Our Settings!

This is Just Another Hurdle, That Really Really Hurts US ALL!

So, Therefore, any Reasonable Person, Can Certainly Ascertain, That, We, Registered Citizens, Really are Disenfranchised!

Happy New Year To All!

Hey Leif, currently facing the same situation as you. Any information on a good attorney and what ball park of money im looking at losing here would be appreciated.

I’ve talked to a few attorneys already but the expense seems outrageous to get something fixed when the evidence clearly shows I’m innocent.

“THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch court convicted five teens Tuesday for their involvement in the fatal beating of a 73-year-old man in what they described as a “pedophile hunt.””

“The youths, whose identities were not released, were given sentences ranging from six months to a year in juvenile detention. Their ages ranged from 15 to 19 years.”
