So recent news from Edmonton, Canada. The "hacktivist" group anonymous has ran their own form of "to catch a predator" they posed as 13-14 year old girls/boys to lure out potential child molesters and gave all the videos/pictures and transcripts to Edmonton police and gave them an ultimatum. Arrest these individuals, or their names, work place among other information will be posted publicly.
Edmonton police has not acted in anyway, shape or form on this, and so far 2 men have been publicly exposed.

What's your thoughts on this?

It's about damn time !

Agreed, I think it's a great ****en idea.

I don't agree with it, just like I didn't agree with the To Catch A Preditator series. I agree with why they are doing it but to make a case like this hold up in court is damn near impossible.

You have a criminal, and in some countries view a terrorist organization doing this. They have no credibility with law enforcement or the courts and most of their evidence would be considered tainted and possibly doctored. It would be a defense attorney's wet dream.

True you do have a point, and one made by many many people.
There are huge draw backs from them doing this as you pointed out, and the possibility they are doing this to smear people's image. (Which is most definitely a possibility)
But the one up for this is if "anonymous" is speaking the truth, transcripts are all real and these individuals are actually attempting to have sex with underage children. Having their names, faces, work places, and internet activitys publicly exposed may act as a deterrent to others out there now that it's not just the lonely police monitoring the web.
Lets not forget, there are more courts then just the criminal courts.
