Last night's Channel 4 documentary The Paedophile Hunter shone a light into the murky world of internet vigilantism.

Stinson Hunter and his associates lure and trap sexual predators by posing as underage children online, and then pass evidence on to the police and post it online.

Do you agree with the methods of the paedophile hunter? Is he doing simply the job that the police should?
