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.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
