I note while perusing a variety of ontopic my interest groups, that a
legitimate boylover in one of the groups has launched a very
productive discussion as to the merits of the American television show
"To Catch a Predator".
This, from what I understand, is merely a reality show based on a very
common practice among LEA in the U.S. [and here, and in Britain, and
elsewhere!] of entrapping people by pretending to be minors in popular
chat rooms.
A disclaimer: Anyone who would arrange to meet a "minor" on line,
particularly in a chatroom, is 1) and idiot or 2) self destructive or
3) a self destructive idiot. These LEA scams are common knowledge and
are meant to discourage anyone from crusing such sites for kids.
Now. The fact of the matter is that irrespective of the fact:
The "perp" actually never assaulted a child.
The "perp" actually never contacted or spoke with a child
That the "perp" was either directly or indirectly led into making
incriminating suggestions to the non-existent child
That this very act of entrapment is justified due to the "overriding
concerns over the mental, sexual safety of our children"
It is contrary to the spirit and letter of most Western democracies,
and that doesn't bother the authorities or the majority of citizens in
the least. This is similar to handing out defacto life sentences
[endless probationary terms and involuntary "hospitalization" for
being a public "danger" for those labeled as "violent sexual
predators" and please note that one doesn't have to actually be
"violent" in the widely understood meaning of the word to be labeled
SVP]
That which is not JUST is not LAW.
Nevertheless, please note that there are at least two lawsuits pending
against the American National Broadcasting Company for harm done to
the so called "predators" [including a suicide]. So although NBC will
probably been found as not culpable [as have other talk show hosts who
set up situations resulting in a suicide or murder of their "guests"]
it is good to know there is still both criminal and civil avenues that
one can pursue. Eventually, the court system in Australia, the UK and
the United States will have to come to terms with this injustice, but
don't look for it soon. It is easier to be politically popular than
to do the just act.
Otherwise, this discussion is pointless. Take care of yourselves. Be
smart, be cautious and remember always ... It is not paranoia. They
really are out to get you. So don't do them any favors!
