Im surprised the show is still on.
They got sued, big time, after some guy took his own life when they decided that it would be good for ratings to send the swat team to his house.

You butchered the story.

The "guy" was a district attorney. They didn't decide it would be good for ratings to send a swat team (I am sure SWAT would listen to what a TV producer wanted to do :roll: ) the man refused to open his door, and essentially was resisting arrest. He shot himself because he realized his life and career as a DA were now over.

TERRELL, Tex., Nov. 6 — A prosecutor in this North Texas town killed himself Sunday as the police tried to arrest him on charges of soliciting sex over the Internet from a person he thought was a 13-year-old boy.

The prosecutor, Louis Conradt Jr., 56, had been caught in a sting operation set up by Dateline NBC, the television news magazine, and an Internet watchdog group called Perverted Justice. An NBC camera crew was outside the house to film the scene when the fatal shot was fired.

Mr. Conradt had refused to open the door when police officers arrived at his house, where he lived alone, said Sgt. Snow Robertson of the Police Department in Murphy, a nearby town where officers said Mr. Conradt intended to meet the boy he thought he had communicated with.

Officers eventually forced their way into the house, only to find that Mr. Conradt had shot himself in the head with a small-caliber semi-automatic handgun, Sergeant Robertson said. Mr. Conradt died later at Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

Police officers from Murphy had gone to the house with a tactical team and two officers from Terrell to serve a warrant for Mr. Conradt’s arrest. One of the officers from Terrell knew Mr. Conradt from his work as a prosecutor, Sergeant Robertson said.

Mr. Conradt had been a district attorney in Kaufman County and was the chief felony assistant district attorney in Rockwall County at the time of his death.

The police planned to search his computer and his house, Sergeant Robertson said.

The sergeant’s department had been working with Perverted Justice and NBC News in a sting operation singling out people who solicit sex from children.

Allison Gollust, an NBC News spokeswoman, said the crew for Dateline NBC’s “To Catch a Predator” series was taping as the police approached the house. But Ms. Gollust added that no one from Dateline had had contact with Mr. Conradt and that there was nothing to suggest that he had seen the crew before he turned the gun on himself.

“There’s absolutely no evidence that would suggest that he was aware of us,” Ms. Gollust said. “We don’t anticipate making a change to our reporting.”

Xavier Von Erck, director of operations with Perverted Justice, said Mr. Conradt had made contact in an AOL chat room with a decoy from Perverted Justice who was posing as a 13-year-old boy. Mr. Von Erck would not disclose the details of the chat, but he said, “It was sexual in nature.”

Unlike some suspects in pedophile stings that appear on “Dateline NBC,” Mr. Conradt had not actually met the person he thought was the teenager, but Sergeant Robertson said he planned to do so. Perverted Justice staff members found profiles from Mr. Conradt on AOL, Yahoo and MySpace.com, Mr. Von Erck said. He also said that he thought Mr. Conradt had tried to erase at least one online profile, on MySpace.com, a popular online social networking community used mainly by teenagers, in the moments before he shot himself.

Sergeant Robertson said the police in his town of 3,100 had apprehended 22 other people in stings since last Thursday, mostly from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with the help of Perverted Justice. He said more would be arrested in the coming days.

“We’ll continue to work with them right now,” Sergeant Robertson said.

Perverted Justice stings have led to the arrests of 260 people nationwide this year, Mr. Von Erck said.

Several residents in this town of 14,000 about 30 miles east of Dallas said they were shocked to hear the accusations of pedophilia against Mr. Conradt, who had served two terms as district attorney.

Kirby Webb, an investment advisor from Terrell, said he never wanted to hear about people taking their own lives, but he applauded law enforcement’s effort to catch online child predators in the town.

“This is a good family town,” Mr. Webb said. “We want to preserve that image.”

I love that show, unfortunately I think everyone who was caught on that show will now be released due to some loophole in the law

[DPancoast]

that show is hilarious to watch

[ilovecoupes]

I love how he always fools them, by telling them they are free to go.
Then they get outside and are ambushed by police officers.

eh, technically he's not fooling them... he, nor the tv crew, are able to legally detain them. And I don't think the cops can do anything while they are in the house.

It seems like most of these guys get a few months in jail then a couple years probation.

The story I heard is that...
1. The guy never went to meet the boy who he talked to online. Therefore no crime was actually committed.
2. Police never send swat or cops to break down your door in these types of cases. I mean, its not like this guy was a known child molester that they were looking for or something. Its just that dateline (working WITH the police) tried to put on a big show so that they could say they caught such a high profile guy. Thats why his family is suing.
