the crazy thing about that is that if it's a 16 year old boy he is going to go to jail for soliciting child pornography, but if it's a girl then we will rub the back of her hand and say "everything is going to be okay we will get you the help that you need" while they break the boys skull on the cop car throwing him in.
@@samreagan6292 Happened at a school near me, where a female teacher in her 30's groomed a 14 year old boy into sex. Didn't even get charged for it, just lost her job.
Someone actually did send their 15 year old cousin to scope it out, Chris Hansen talked to the kid for a while doing his routine, and the cops arrested the guy down the road when they figured out what the guy was doing.
The actual legal term is “mens rea,” or “guilty mind.” The predators solicited a person who they believed was a minor for sex, which shows criminal intent. It’s only considered entrapment if the decoy initiates sexual conversion.
They will also sometimes ask the predator to bring certain things such as condoms which demonstrates they did believe they were going to this place for sex to help against this argument that the predator knew it wasn't a minor the whole time.
10:37 "Send in a child to scope it out for you" One guy actually tried that, but he was so stupid he stood in the goddamn driveway, while the "scout" went in the house, insted of waiting somewhere far away.

It all deals with showing intent. Talking to an underage child online is one thing, but driving to their house is a whole different story. If you watched the very early episodes of tcap that involved police, alot of guys got off because they just showed up to the house without anything on them to prove intent. So, the decoys started asking them to bring specific items like a cake, a gift, ect. Then when they tried to say that they just came by the house, the police would bring up that they brought the exact items that the decoy asked for.

How have none of these perverts ever shown up with a gun and shot Chris? They've done God knows how many episodes of this, and not once has one of these guys been like "I'm bringing heat in case this is a sting operation."
They have been guns in cars and any predator coming into the house that they feel may have a gun the decoy always asks them to lift their shirt and promise they don't have a gun.
@@saferabies I'm no law expert but thr charges for soliciting a minor are less bad than the ones for murdering a reporter lol they must praise God that they didn't
There have been a couple close calls. One guy who was a lieutenant bragged about having a gun, so the decoy made him prove he didn't have one before going in the house. There was another old officer that was showing up right before the crew stopped for the night, but police intercepted his car before he left the county. They found like 10 guns, a shit ton of ammo, two bullet proof vests, tons of film and cameras, duct tape, and more creepy shit. It's a miracle nothing happened during any of the runs.
Because the show falls under “journalism” and is considered a news show, they don’t need releases to show anyone’s face. Chris Hansen has talked about this loophole, it has nothing to do with being a criminal or not

The question in my mind when I see this show that disturbs me is like: has there ever been a meeting like this when it wasn't fake? Like how common was it in the 2000s that a girl, or boy would go on AOL and hook up with an old guy? I feel like they knew where to put these decoys because people back then, noticed that these AOL rooms were sus, and maybe parents found out about these rooms. I remember this was just a huge time when teenagers would randomly talk to people online. I used to do it all the time and now I realized that most of the people I was talking to, were probably old men lmfao
A decent number of the guys on the show had had previous charges for the same thing, or would tell the decoy they had already done the same thing in the past. it definitely happened, to what extent I don’t know
The group Dateline worked with was started and established before TCAP was even a thing. The group would get the photos sent, message logs, and shame the person in the area they lived in but posting them on telephone poles and going to their work. So online predators have always been a thing
You have to remember that this was still the wild west days of the internet. There was a lot of amenity and not much correlation between what you did online and in real life. People would talk about what ever they wanted to online without consequence. A guy could totally gain the trust of a kid, go to their house, and not really be tracked. Many of the guys on the show admitted that they had met actual children from chat rooms in the past. I remember it was fairly big thing and you were warned to never go into chat rooms for that very reason.
Na, they were arrested during the investigation. They episode aired well before they were found not guilty. Also, the original investigations had no police involvement, but those were still aired as well.
The problem I have with these new predator catcher vigilantes is that they also demonize families of the predators. Like there was this predator catcher that starts harassing the predators mother when she got offended that they were putting a camera in her face and calling her an enabler to the guys pedophilia when that absolutely wasn’t the case. There was also another predator hunter called cc unit and they went to this families house that was at risk of being kicked out because their kids caused too much trouble and the mother was begging the predator catchers to go somewhere else so they can talk privately but it was like the predator hunters didn’t even care that the mother was about to be homeless. They were there for the predator not the mother.
My favorite was when the chomo would come in and start snacking or drinking on whatever the decoy left out...then Chris Hansen would come outta no where and ask "How are those cookies?"....close second is every one of them thinking Chris is the dad. Im gay for even commenting on this video.
Probably like 20% (at least) of the people featured on TCAP tried claiming "I knew this was you"/"I just wanted to test this" Rather predictably, it never worked lmfao
What if Chris Hansen gave you a bad check, but then he ghosted you.. So the only way you could catch him is to go online to find underage girls to meet with. You have seen all the television segments, so you know how the system works, and its only a matter of time before you can confront him. He owes you a lot of money, so you are very determined, and the worst part.. Is that you're gay.. Also, you're Adam.
so the whole thing with the show was them just sitting in chat rooms and guys would just talk to them. they would initiate everything and the decoy would just be chilling. they wouldn't "cyber" because it's just the predator doing everything. if anyone still reads comments, listen to Predators I've Caught. chris talks about different episodes and how the show operated. very good stuff. i understand these are old episodes, so they're ignorant to the actual details, but still
yeah, he said he read it on Reason, which is a libertarian publication regardless of how you feel about libertarianism, this is a pretty good example of just how the police can exploit you with 0 consequences
The clips from Ep. 139 and 156 just sound like they went "Hey, I lost the audacity file to that last episode when we talked about TCAP, let's just pretend we didn't have that conversation and rerecord it with similar points and interjections." Idk how nobody in that room went "Yeah, we already talked about this before."
what probably happened is they talk about this shit off air too, so they attribute the conversation feeling familiar to haveing talked about it outside the cast
I've always said that the dudes should just say they were roleplaying and they clearly knew it was an adult. The whole time they are in fact talking to an adult who they just thought was roleplaying and staying deep in character

5:40 why is Stav the only one to appreciate this?
I like that the pitch of "I KNEW THIS WAS THE SHOW" is like, used multiple times in the show.
The problem I have with these new predator catcher vigilantes is that they also demonize families of the predators. Like there was this predator catcher that starts harassing the predators mother when she got offended that they were putting a camera in her face and calling her an enabler to the guys pedophilia when that absolutely wasn’t the case.
There was also another predator hunter called cc unit and they went to this families house that was at risk of being kicked out because their kids caused too much trouble and the mother was begging the predator catchers to go somewhere else so they can talk privately but it was like the predator hunters didn’t even care that the mother was about to be homeless. They were there for the predator not the mother.
5:25 hey let me interrupt you guys with 10 seconds of not knowing what the hell I'm gonna say
The Rose bowl party bit was hilarious. "We were all ra---- as kids, you're our fckin' hero!" 😂
I love how many times they have the same conversations
Did they have a full conversation about this, forget they did, and then have it almost beat-for-beat a second time? Feel like I’m tripping out…
It happens more than you might think
The detective story is so crazy I can’t believe it wasn’t made up
Two words, role playing chat room dude
5:01 Stav’s chuckle lol
Ian Fidance's first reoccurring role was on TCAP.
Your city layout is wrecking my OCD. Lol
stop pretending to have OCD in place of a personality
10:38 actually happened on tcap and the predators got off free
My favorite was when the chomo would come in and start snacking or drinking on whatever the decoy left out...then Chris Hansen would come outta no where and ask "How are those cookies?"....close second is every one of them thinking Chris is the dad. Im gay for even commenting on this video.
it's like this video was custom-made for me. god damn
Listening to this was the greatest and best pleasure.
Nice lmao
"Me. My Mommy. And my Daddy"
Stav ends up on an episode just because he hears about the free cookies.
Nice city bro. Looks luxurious
To catch a predator is the pinnacle of television journalism.
Probably like 20% (at least) of the people featured on TCAP tried claiming "I knew this was you"/"I just wanted to test this"
Rather predictably, it never worked lmfao
Jewish gay conversion therapy bit was one of the funniest ones I've heard so far lmao
What if Chris Hansen gave you a bad check, but then he ghosted you.. So the only way you could catch him is to go online to find underage girls to meet with. You have seen all the television segments, so you know how the system works, and its only a matter of time before you can confront him.
He owes you a lot of money, so you are very determined, and the worst part.. Is that you're gay.. Also, you're Adam.
Or Theo
I love how they just had the same exact conversation twice
Uhhhh uhhhh yeah uhhhh this guy like uhhhhhh uhhh yeah like uhhhhhh like like y'know? You have to like uhhh uhhhh y'know? Like y'know? Uhhhh
Did they literally just have the same conversation twice in 2 different episodes?
Since Nick does voices pretty well he probably can sing too 🤣
so the whole thing with the show was them just sitting in chat rooms and guys would just talk to them. they would initiate everything and the decoy would just be chilling. they wouldn't "cyber" because it's just the predator doing everything. if anyone still reads comments, listen to Predators I've Caught. chris talks about different episodes and how the show operated. very good stuff. i understand these are old episodes, so they're ignorant to the actual details, but still
The TCAP in Iran was gold 🤣
That story about the two kids and the police officer fuckin freaks me out
yeah, he said he read it on Reason, which is a libertarian publication
regardless of how you feel about libertarianism, this is a pretty good example of just how the police can exploit you with 0 consequences
*You know what? I don't even want this cookie anymore; I just want to get to the beach.*
7:51 multiple guys tried that, claiming they knew what was up. In most cases, the chat was already enough to convict them.
The clips from Ep. 139 and 156 just sound like they went "Hey, I lost the audacity file to that last episode when we talked about TCAP, let's just pretend we didn't have that conversation and rerecord it with similar points and interjections."
Idk how nobody in that room went "Yeah, we already talked about this before."
what probably happened is they talk about this shit off air too, so they attribute the conversation feeling familiar to haveing talked about it outside the cast
Your CS build makes me irrationally angry. It’s like watching a slow motion of a car crash, can’t look away
"Benjamin how about.......4 dollars?"
Nobody's on the right side of Chris hansen in this one
I've always said that the dudes should just say they were roleplaying and they clearly knew it was an adult. The whole time they are in fact talking to an adult who they just thought was roleplaying and staying deep in character
It’s been tried and failed
Hey it's me, Cool Adam
No such thing
Why don't you have a seat, Cool Adam...
Shut up gay Adam.
i like the city ur building
It's amazing how so little they know about the show. A 25-year-old college student is pretending to be a 15-year-old.
Storm in like Kramer and sprint towards the decoy
stavros “bring an iron knuckles” halkias
how about $4, nah i still wanna be gay
putting dense commercial zoning right next to low density residential? good lord man
putting a residential area right between the highway and the commercial area so literally everybody in the world has to drive right through it lmfao
Perhaps not my smartest move. I’m still pretty new to this game so there’s a lot that I still have to learn
@@StevenSeagull it's all good man. adapt. improvise. overcum.
