why do the cops in here keep trying to lure people for sex while pretending to be underage people?

Question

i have been solicited via im 6 times this month alone. are people really that stupid to fall for that junk?

Answer 1

I suppose a pedophile would be stupid enough to fall for it.
As long as they catch just one, they are helping kids.

And besides, there may be a deterrent effect to the pedophiles... if they suspect it's a cop instead of a kid, maybe they'll back off.

I have not been messaged (I think my IM is off) but since I have kids, I wouldn't mind if I was.
Good to see them protecting the kiddos.

Answer 2

I don't even go onto IM, so I would have no clue. I think its pretty lame all the same...but what else can we do to stop online predators. My suggestion of forming neighborhood raiding teams armed with silenced MP5s was shot down when I furthered my request to have the raid teams operate without a warrant....guess are children's lives aren't worth more than the civil liberties of Pedophiles!

Answer 3

well if you watch to catch a preditor then... yea people are really that stupid.... atleast you arent getting people who dont even speak english trying to talk to you. i get those IM's like once a month

Answer 4

Because pedophiles keep coming here (chat rooms normally) to look for victims.

Answer 5

To make stupid television programs and exploit people.

Answer 6

They are just doing their job. Yes, people are stupid enough to fall for it because they are sick and disgusting.

Answer 7

It's an easy arrest. Cops are basically lazy.

Answer 8

they cannot lure the innocent only the guilty!!!!
