[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I worked as a public defender in NYC, the cops ran a sting operation called "lucky bag." They'd leave a purse seemingly forgotten in busy area, like a fast food restaurant, and see who took it. Then they'd follow them to see what they did with it. If the person didn't make a move to turn it in, they were arrested. [/quote] Ummm, can you say Entrapment? [/quote] Yes. We said it often, and also that the cops didn't wait long enough to see what the person would do before swooping in. But what I resented was that they were wasting time on this (baiting people who probably otherwise wouldn't commit any crime and weren't even necessarily doing anything wrong when they picked up the bag) instead of patrolling or investigating real crimes.[/quote]
