“A new state law says internet predators no longer have to make physical contact with their victims for it to be a crime.”
“Unlike years past, police didn’t have to wait for him to make physical contact. A new law which took effect in July makes communicating with a minor in an attempt to engage in sex– illegal.”
Ok, obviously, I am all for taking child predators off the streets, offline, and away from society. That’s not what is troubling me.
What I can’t quite come to terms with is that the man was arrested for talking about potentially committing a crime. What worries me is that while the current law is understandable, and probably to be lauded- does this start us down the infamous “slippery slope”?
