I understand your point of view very well. I think men who spend their nights trying to obtain sex from young teenage girls are deplorable, pathetic, and prosecutable.
However, I respect the law. I think there is a reason that people are rigorously trained and accredited to enforce our laws and uphold due process. I am very glad that the bodies that uphold the law are accountable and subject to review and discipline.
If I wanted to catch pedophiles and prosecute them, I would become a police officer or a lawyer. I would spend years learning the rules and *ethics* of these professions, and I would be subject to scrutiny by my peers and superiors. If I were an at-home amateur, I would contact the law enforcement and ask them how I could go about helping in an ethical way, like Julie Posey did.
I do not believe that postering, constant phone-calling, emailing, and harassment is a form of law I could support. I don't think it's evil - those PJ people are really well-meaning - it's just ineffective. From what I understand, LE sees them as a harmless crew of lonely zealots with occasionally useful information. My father is a cop, and he wonders why these poor people just don't go out and become real officers.
I guess the victims of their harassment don't see it as harmless, but like you, I haven't much sympathy for men who try to meet up with a 12-14 year old girl. I do however, have a lot of respect for the trained, educated, and disciplined men and women of law enforcement, and for the law itself.
