Predator Free Dunedin didn’t catch a Single Paedophile Last Year

The whole concept of one-trap-fits-all for paedophiles hasn’t been super effective. Despite PFD’s best efforts, not a single sexual predator was caught by their automated traps, presumably because the traps are rat-sized. A local predator said, “The council is generalising us which is ineffective, and all they’re managing to pull in is heaps and heaps of possums and rats.” Apparently they have a group chat discussing the locations of these traps and how to avoid them.

A council spokesperson said “It’s not a reflection on our job but rather society as a whole.” In an effort to increase the catch rate, the city council and non-profit partners are hiring Chris Hansen as a consultant for next year. “We really can’t afford to have another year of no paedophiles caught,” said the spokesperson. This is especially true if the country wants to reach its goal of predator free 2050.
