True, not recommended but I wonder if any caught in the "sting" will press charges? I'm betting no lol.

Cpl. Van Laer said the move could also have put children in the community at risk.
“We’re dealing with potential sexual predators, people that have a deviant sexual interest in children. They have arguably now been aroused to a certain degree by a chat. ... You have no control on the actions of that person afterwards. Depending on their state of mind, what if they do go out and run across another child and feel the urge to offend?”
Ehhh I get his point but in reality if the person is already a sexual deviant they would find someone or something else to spark their interest if these guys were not around. Kind of depends how they set the person up. If the guy was trying to stay straight and they came onto him it would sort of be like waving a bottle of booze in front of an alcoholic, bad form. On the flip side maybe these guys intercepted the perv before he found and harmed a real target?
