Concerned about sex offender that lives across street

[xanis]

WTF kind of hick police department is this? This attempt to bait him into an arrest without cause just don't sound right. And they might arrest him anyway just for going outside or walking down the street and he looks at her direction. Then they might deny they were entrapping him, and they just happened to be there instead. You would have no control over the outcome and be at the center of it and then blamed for it by the offender. Why would anyone who valued the safety of their family put themselves at risk of retaliation like that?

I think you might want to contact the Texas Rangers who handle rogue cops or the Texas state attorney general and report this offer. You might end up stinging the cops and not the offender.

While I can't condone an offenders behavior, the cops should not stoop to his level just to entrap him without provocation. And if they thought he was that dangerous, he should not have been released on probation or parole in the first place.

How the hell is that entrapment? If the guy's not a creeper after all or he's getting help, he'll go back into his house or something. No one is forcing him to do anything.

I cant put my finger on it directly, but something in this thread reaks of bullsh1t.

my daughter and i were approached by someone from the local police department asking if we wanted to setup some bait. The plan called for my daughter to wear a bikini, go out in the yard, and lay out in the sun. The police would be down the street watching.

If the guy approached my daughter and asked for her phone number, the police would rush in and arrest him.

I declined the offer.

I doubt we are going to have any problems, the guy saw me carry my deer rifle to my truck during hunting season.
