I'm in favor of stings, but not when done by civilians, and especially not when done by civilians for a TV show.
I watched the show once and was generally disgusted with the host and the whole thing.
While the irony is not lost on my, the fact that the Enquirer is apparently credited with breaking the story just plain makes me feel dirty.
"To Catch A Predator," a Dateline series, features Hansen and an advocacy organization called Perverted Justice posing as younger women and communicating with older men online, and then catching would-be sex offenders at a location that they and the almost-offender agreed upon.
Older men communication with younger women is now a crime? It looks like the level of reporting isn't any higher than that of the "police work" of the show.

Wow. I almost fell sorry for Hansen. At this point, I don't how who's the bad guy.
