It's probably how they caught this Canadian:

You never know if you lose it all with one bad visit to a SP in America. Anything bad goes on your record, screwed royally.
That's why I save up my time for Tijuana or a 2 hr plus drive to Canada.

But lets face it BC fun is expensive, all the reason why this boring guy wants to retire near Mexico for many reasons.

Seems like their focus is on targeting under age circumstances.

I draw the line at that as well. That said, the US, as always, over regulates things to make it worse.

Well, there WAS that thread that we can no longer discuss on PERB...... so have faith that the answer is "yes"....

Overall, it is known that LE (even vigilante groups like "creep catchers") go out of their way to catfish for perverts, and bust them.

Even going so far as to photoshop legal nudes into someone 'younger' to bait with.


...and don't get me wrong, they deserve to get caught.
