Yeah, when it's poorly done, a predator can get a mistrial. It's a complex issue, I don't think it should be as widespread a practice as it is but I can't fault the ones that are basically professionals at it. I think it's an issue I'm very much a hypocrite in since I oppose vigilantism but I can't bring myself to condemn hunters completely. It's a difficult one.

... Problem was, it actually was a 16 year old boy who happened to be tall and have a lot of facial hair for his age. And who came from a rather ... Erm... Lively? family. Who tracked down the paedophile hunters and smashed in all of their windows and threatened to kill them. I understand the motivations of these groups but I think it serves as an example of why these things should be left to professionals. At absolute most, they should just gather information online and hand it over to the police. The physical (and especially the live-streamed) confrontations are just too prone to errors being made. |

I'm sure I've read about a few groups who don't do that sort of thing though, they gather evidence and turn it in and that's it and I admire those people since they are doing good for the sake of doing good. If it weren't for people like that, I'd oppose hunter groups but while you've got groups that handle things right and never make it about themselves, it's not a practice I can oppose although it often leaves me in a quandary about vigilantism since I oppose it otherwise. |

I will admit the predator catching streams can be addictive viewing the American ones anyroad.
But even then it feels like they're making it for the spectacle rather than justice. otherwise it'd just show the chat logs along with evidence as to who the person is. |

Even worse is when someone was already being investigated but the whole thing falls apart because of public involvement. |

This is dangerous and not to be made a spectacle of , and some of the videos are fake 100% with actors which I find distasteful and pointless. But the ones that are real just make for uncomfortable viewing either way with the risks clearly showing. |

What was it you were expecting, and did it happen?
