To Catch A Predator

I have watched the NBC show "To Catch a Predator" or a few occasions. I really feel that they are doing the right thing. They are getting child predators, helping gather evidence to prosecute them, and publicly humiliating them all at the same time. How can this be bad?

Evidentially, in a small Texas town, there are those that think it is a very bad thing. One of the 25 men caught was a prosecutor from a neighboring county, who shot himself and committed suicide when he was found out, and the police were knocking on his door after he failed to rendezvous at the preappointed house to meet the 13 year old boy he had been having a very sexual talk with on-line. The city manager who approved the operation no longer has a job, and the district attorney won't prosecute any of the others apprehended. If I lived in this town, I would seriously consider moving very far away to a town that actually wanted pedophiles off the streets and away from the children.
