This thing bloomed here some 10 years ago. In one case one of "hunters" was exposed as an actual pedo, in another the "team" framed a mentally ill guy who barely had idea what happens around him. There's even a tv show with over 200 episodes covering actions of one guy.<p>Lawyers question the legality of such an actions, as well as the fact that the "hunters" do not comply with their obligation to immediately notify the police of the possibility of an actual crime - they drag out the contact so that they can catch the alleged perpetrator in the light of the cameras.
