That said, I do think America has got it right when it comes to their police force working hand in hand with vigilantes. Remember that recent programme, “To catch a Predator”? This would be considered illegal in the UK because of our coercion laws.

Exactly the path which I took too Dem. I was all for it then I thought about Livia's post and did a 'U' turn.
You are right about the American initiative, and there's an excellent program on Sky Chanel 'Living' on Friday at 3.30 am (I record it ) called "Inside Predator Task Force" which follows the cops as they snare online paedo's by using young looking 20 something girls as bait. It's brilliant. Last week one of the paedo's caught was a cop! A Deputy Sheriff.
