The only thing sick about the show is that some people enjoy watching it.
We live in a depraved society. Some view as “entertainment” a television show which shows young men getting on the internet and arranging to have sex with minors. Anyone who views this as entertainment is sick.
But, I applaud NBC for arranging these stings. These pieces of human feces need to be taken of the streets.
IF YOU CAN’T DO THE TIME, DON’T DO THE CRIME!
Our legal system has an elaborate system of checks designed to prevent abuses of police power. This system of checks is tossed out the window by NBC.
I think the goal of preventing abuses of police power is an important consideration, and not to be tossed aside for the purposes of producing entertaining TV programs.
That said, I think finding and prosecuting child molesters is a legitimate police function. I wish the police every success in this endeavor. But they should not be permitted to throw out procedures and rules of evidence. The rules are there for a reason. Many of those rules are written in blood.
