I agrre that people like this should be at minimum watched for further actions on their part, but as far as using "perverted Justice"? I wouldn't trust them with anything. I watched the specials that were on "Nightline" and thought " How interesteing, a group of people out there trying to help keep our kids safe out there!" Then I started doing some checks... I found several cases of misrepresentation on their part, as well as a total lack of proper investigation. One specific case I remember reading was of a guy who was a regular Joe type, had his computer in for service, and evidently the computer technician stole his online password,(this was revealed later during the actual LEGAL investigation by police) and had been trolling all over looking for girls to chat with. Several of the discussions were VERY graphic, and one time he happened to fall onto a "Perverted Justice" member, who instantly flagged the name and contacted the owners ISP. Of course the OWNER had no idea what was going on. Perverted Justice used their "investigative skills" to get a contact name and driver's license photo(didn't know you could do that???) Then posted his information on their website, and told his local newspaper about it. Of course the guy was totally confused and had no idea what was going on. After POLICE did a proper investigation into what happened, they found out the guy was of course innocent, and it was the computer tech who was doing this. Too late for the guy who lost his job and had been pretty much ran out of town during the investigation. I will try to see if I can find the information from an actual news site. I was looking on the "perverted truth" website who is actually doing an investigation of "perverted Justice's" practices. and to this date I believe that perverted justice has not apologized for their mistake, and STILL has his photo and information on their webpage.
I think that ANY investigation should be made by the POLICE DEPARTMENT or city/government personel. Just my $.02 worth!
