Do people think that such groups are a good thing or a bad thing, or does it depend on the professionalism of the group?
What do people think about their methods of entrapment and the way that they conduct themselves?
Is it right that the police refuse to support them and what they do?

It's hard to say if they are good or bad. On one hand, there is unlimited man power that the Polce simply don't have, they are catching these people and they are getting sentenced.
On the other hand, the very fact they seem to think they have to live stream could be interrupting any live investigation the Police already have going on. They also state things that simply are not true. Do things they shouldn't be doing like not moving the foot away from the door of their home, checking pockets of someone or simply just pure bullying someone. On the very odd occasion, they have even got the wrong person, oops, too late, it was already live streamed.
