POP (Prey on Predators) Squad, a Connecticut-based group, has been conducting sting operations without the involvement of law enforcement. Many are beginning to question if the tactic is legal or ethical.
Molly Land, a professor at the University of Connecticut Law School , does not believe POP Squad has a legitimate claim to the power it wields.
In an interview, she noted the government is elected and sanctioned by the public; the proceedings of the judicial system are calibrated by learned people elected and appointed to the positions; they seek information and mete out sentences based on societal standards and expertise. They, as well as the legal process, can be held to account. “It’s hard to defend people who would come to that kind of a meeting, and I get that,” Land said of POP Squad’s targets. “But at the same time — who elected POP Squad to do this? Do they have the tools to make these kind of decisions about actions that can have really extraordinary and significant consequences for people’s lives? These are not things to be taken lightly.”
