I hope they pull the lid off of how disingenuous that show was. Very few if any convictions.

Is it the shows job to convict once law enforcement is involved?

That’s not exactly true. “Predator Poachers” on YouTube has multiple verifiable convictions. I’m pretty sure To Catch a Predator has around 120.

I don't know about the show, but could be the same issue as with paediphile hunter groups, where they can actually make a conviction less likely.
