Judge Richard Foster said: "This group had taken upon itself to track down individuals they perceived to be paedophiles. The courts cannot encourage vigilantes or groups like this and the proper course of action is to involve the police and to leave the police to do the work."
Is this sort of sting acceptable, provided when once having caught the offenders they then hand them over unharmed to the police ?
The judge says "no", I wonder what the police say.
