      It's because the show and police messed up. He could have very well been a pedo, but there's a reason you have to follow certain procedures. They couldn't get clear confirmation of his voice and they went to his house instead of him going to the bait house. If he had gone to the bait house like normal, you'd have pretty good evidence, but since they went to him, it was muddled. The network chased ratings above doing things the right way and pressured the police to do things incorrectly. The show should have let the police handle him the normal way instead of doing the rush to his house and it would never have been an issue regardless of what Conradt did.

      That was just the tip of the iceberg. While the vast majority of people were predators, I seem to recall that there were a few that actually showed up trying to help the "kid," trying to find out where the parents were, if it was an abusive situation, prostitution, etc and the show heavily edited transcripts and film to make it look like they were predators. Also, Hanson and the show's producers got too egotistical and started to violate laws in the process which lead to the target going free after the arrest.

      To catch a predator also caught a lot of kids who were posing as adults because the moment the "kid" they were chatting with said "Oh, you're too young for me" because they were the same age, the target lied that they were older. Then got charged as an "adult predator" even though they were minor themselves.

    • @cosplayshop
      @cosplayshop 2 місяці тому +13

      The entire show is not viable in the legal standpoint.
      First of all you have the 5th amendment, which is a due process clause, which means basically everyone have the right to a fair trial, so to start by calling people in the show "Predator" before they were convicted of a crime (It would have been fine if these people are convicted BEFORE the show air), that's basically asking for a lawsuit to bring about the network (Which is why the family won)
      Second thing is this is an entrapment. Not many people know that, but to conduct a sting operation, you need to have a long history of the offending pattern for the person you are applying a stint operation on to be overcome the entrapment burden, otherwise a legal defence would be the subject is being enticed to commit a crime. If you can't show the subject is predisposed to commit that crime, then you can't show mens rea.

Lewis Conrad did the same thing that Ryan did. They both committed THAT act to escape justice. I can’t believe that Conrad’s family won that lawsuit!

      To Catch a Predator was always on shaky legal grounds. olice have procedures, rules and laws. The show's producers just wanted to make a good show. Some of the people got away scot-free because the producers messed up and made all of the evidence inadmissible. There were also issues of whether this counted as entrapment or not. Since the producers needed juicy chats and exchanges, they baited a lot of people, which if not done correctly can be considered illegal. There was also the question of whether this was legal to film, and whether Hansen was acting as an agent of the police, because if he was he broke numerous laws. That's why some people sued and got settlements out of it. It wasn't because the people weren't guilty, it was because the show didn't really have legal standing to do what they were doing.

      In part yes. By showing names and faces they also made the perpetrator's families face backlash though. I'm surprised NBC wasn't sued into oblivion for that alone. Also the show made some mistakes and, instead of owning up to them, either made half hearted excuses or even doubled down on pretending to have found the "real truth" destroying innocent lives. The worst thing it did was to glorify vigilantism. Tcap at least did their homework most of the time. Some of those entitled vigilantes trying to do the same did not.

      @@I.am_Groot Welllll...that's not exactly true. There's something in the law called entrapment. This means that someone cannot entice you into committing the crime. This means that a cop (undercover or otherwise) can't goad you into committing a crime you didn't want to do or were unsure about. The producers of the show wanted juicy chats and communications, so they often enticed the people by being forward and flat-out asking the ciminals to commit crimes. Did this count as entrapment? The answer is: maybe. By working with the police, the show as acting as an agent of the police. This got a lot of these people's charges thrown out because the show wasn't trying to follow the law, they were trying to make a good show. There was also the issue of filming. As crazy as it sounds, the people didn't agree to be on the show, and thus they had standing to sue if their conviction was thrown out. The show began to have increasing legal problems. The issue became glaringly apparent when that guy did away with himself. That's why the family sued and won. The show was acting as an agent of the police and enticed people to commit crimes. I have no doubt these people were awful and absolutely would have gone through with the terrible things they were trying to do, but police have to follow the rules. They broke them.

      No one is responsible when another person takes their own life. Suicide is a horrible choice because families are left to deal with the mess, but they are not responsible. It is the same as accusing someone of being responsible for your own drinking, drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling - Unless, you are a bullied child, you alone are responsible for your deeds. I hope, if his family found any money it is jinxed. The money belongs to his victims.

    2. Oxygen should have changed the name from "All My Babies Mommas" to something else because I can see the reasons that show wasn't aired based on the title alone and the premise of the show was a bad look for them
    3. I've never seen the movie "Heathers", but I hear that it was a big hit among teenagers during the 80s and making a TV show with that theme just won't work with all of the mass shootings happening in high schools throughout America
    4. "To Catch a Predator" was a pretty good show, but it isn't the fault of anyone on the show that the predator took his own life because his life was pretty much ruined now
    5. The NFL had p"Paymakers" canceled and I can only assume that is because some of the topics on that show were hitting close to home and a little too real life

    7. I've never seen or even heard of "Clone High", but messing with an important political figure in another country will get you canceled
    8. Those poor horses on that HBO show "Luck", but at least no one sexually mastered them
    9. It also sounds like that show "Kid Nation" was also bringing child labor laws because my understanding is that they're only allowed to work a certain amount of hours in a day while in production
    10. The host of that show "Sons of Guns" is probably getting his ass kicked for messing around with kids
    11. Bill O'Reilly is trash and so was his show and the whole Fox News network as well

    13. "House of Cards" what is a good show, but Kevin Spacey ruined it for all of us
    14. "Politically Incorrect" shouldn't have done anything that I had to do with 9/ 11 because that was a fresh wound at the time and doing anything like that about 9/11 it's still a bad idea today
    15. I remember Honey Boo Boo and that little girl was funny at the time, but I doubt she would've made it up to now despite the Mama June controversy
    16. I've never seen Charlie Rose, but little by little all of these guys from television are having their secrets exposed
    17. I never heard of the show Luis, but I would say the same thing as number 16
    18. I've seen some clips of the original Roseanne and I'll admit that it was pretty funny, but she went all Karen and MAGA on us now smh
    19. I think that beam got to the eldest son of the "19 Kids and Counting" and that might've been the reason that he did stuff to other women, but I think that they're being 19 kids also got to him and let him to start checking his sisters

If there were later seasons it would have been interesting to see them tackle issues like players going broke after making exorbitant amounts of money, health issues including cte, or even some other legal issues.

      Yes, but they settled out of court. So thats why they can say only allegations. It went into arbitration not to court. The defenders paid the ones claiming them. In my experience if you are guilty you dont pay people that are accusing you. Come on now.

      Allegations are slowly becoming unappealing these days.

    A lot of the reality shows that appear on here, the producers and networks didn't vet the adult participants very thoroughly.

    I thought I've seen every TCAP episode! How did I never notice that one of the predators resembled Ted Bundy?! Like A LOT!! 😳🤯

    Imagine having a great series as a writer and a network but then have it canceled due to the actions of one of the actors….heartbreaking

    Duggar family should've never been given a platform in the first place. Andthe fact Conrads family won that lawsuit is F***ing bonkers.

    I think what bothers me the most, is that there is nobody in this entire planet who hasn't screwed up, done the wrong thing , said the wrong thing, and has skeletons in their closet, that if everyone knew, they'd be ass out !
    And yet we all walk around canceling people like we're better,
    ain't nobody better
    we're all fucked up and flawed

    I never understood the to catch a predator thing… That family should’ve put their head down and kept their mouth shut and been thankful that everything they had was a lost when that man was finally prosecuted. Of course, nobody cares about his potential victims that he may have had or could have had. If he did this once he it is likely he had done it before.

      Exactly, they wanted to protect his image and really didn't believe it. I have a feeling that they actually knew, but didn't want to believe it until they saw his episode.

    "Not everything needs to be televised" Yes even channels that make up random countdown lists, doesn't need to be youtube as well.

    the cancellation of clone high was ridiculous. clone gandhi being the polar opposite of his original was the entire point. you didn't see anybody getting their panties in a twist about the depiction of JFK or lincoln or joan of arc, and joan was literally a religious figure.

    Two decades later and I'm still upset the NFL bullied ESPN to cancel Playmakers.
