My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: (All States Featured in the show: Jersey, FL, Tx, Cali)
How is it that the evidence collected against the suspects in this show is permissible? The "Chat logs" are handed over to police by by a private vigilante group. now I mean, the video of them at the house talking to the girls (or boys) saying "I'm going to blank your blank" is pretty damming, but for some cases the chat logs and the fact that the guys showed up is all they have. Seems they could have a solid defense saying that the chat logs could have been completely fabricated.
Can anyone explain why this is not the case?
P.S. I apologize for my scattered thoughts, I'm doing 10 things at once, one of which is watching "To Catch a Predator".
