A member of my family was filmed by stop stings at his doorstep on his property. This was over 2 years ago now, and we are still waiting for a court date or any more details from the police.

This incident was total out of character for this family member, and have since learnt of other health issues. But as stop stings put the video out there straight away, with no court case etc. Everyone, or almost everyone saw the video, a family was ripped apart. I contacted stop stings and said what about the children in this family??? Or don't they matter?? I'm not against them doing, what they call their job. BUT I AM AGAINST THEM MAKING IT PUBLIC BEFORE ANY SENTANCE, COURT CASE, EVIDENCE HAS BEEN HEARD.

I decided to fight back, contacting a solicitor who specialises in these cases, we got the video taken down. It is illegal for them to film on your property. Now we did have to pay, but I am hoping if more people contact them and threaten legal action, it will stop these videos being posted live.

If nothing comes of this situation I will see if it is possible to sue them, for stress, loss of earnings and anything else I can think of. But we have also to the family member, if you are found guilty, we will be here for you. Counselling was started straight away, and is ongoing. Of course I don't agree with what I am watching on stop stings regarding any child, but their should be a law that stops them from posting live.

I don't now if this will help anyone, but if you now your family member, don't be to quick to judge.

I believe what they tell citizen arrest is unlawful and I am not sure to be honest.



However trespassing and man handling they don't have rights and they should not risk it either they should report it to police.

Problem is police are also under resourced and these groups come with ready-made suspect with evidence so they do support this groups.

I believe you need to raise a compliant on trespassing and man handling and regard to the case police will takecare.



Please raise a concern as it is freehold for this vigilantee group to do all this as no one there to challenge them so far.

Let me know if you need any support I have raised 5 complaints against them already
