Yep. Your thought moves into action and you start setting up for it....you bet.
You don't get a "free hit" at some 12 year old so that YOU can feel better about it.
What normal person would feel BETTER about a raped child because they consider it slightly more moral?

i am not defending pedos but innocent men. They commited no crime they did not talk anyone underage. If you were on a highway and the police put a sign up saying that there was no speed limit in the left hand lane and you went onto this left hand lane. It would be like the cops giving you a ticket because you had the intention of speeding by getting in that lane
Read - I haven't actually raped a child yet, so you can't prove I'm a pedophile. I'm just THINKING ABOUT IT REAL HARD.

When you go to the website for teenagers.....and you look for a teen to get into a conversation with about sex....and then you go to meet them....with preparations such as alcohol and condoms....
You're past the "thought" part.

Well what if the guy walks in with lube and condoms but when he gets inside changes his mind tells the decoy he can't do this for whatever reason and walks out. He still gets arrested. This whole style of police work makes me think of the moral issues brought up in Minority Report. The police are really removing the man's free will from him.
Notice they never air the trials, i think this crap never holds up in court.

Hello my friends i am Dr.Rufus Red i have a degree. This method of law is in fact no legal. It would not hold up in court and all these men are innocent.
Entrapment is the act of a law enforcement agent inducing a person to commit an offense which the person would otherwise have been unlikely to commit.
