Re: Cops pose as beggars
I am missing something here. What is the big problem? Is it that not bing in a marked patrol vehicle you don't know your caught? <br />I read in the beginning page somewhere the word entrapment. This is not entrapment, this is just being sneaky. How else can they see who is doing what wrong? Should they post billboards announcing "cops 300 feet ahead, cease all illegal activities?". Entrapment is NOT hiding and catching someone breaking the law when they think no cops are around. Entrapment is when a government official like a cop entices a person to do something they would not be otherwise inclined to do, then charging them. Example would be I go to a person who is not, has no history of, and has never thought about selling drugs. I offer this person big bucks to go find some dope and sell it to me. He says no, but I keep bugging until finally he does. That is entrapment. Or if I would say to someone, hey my RADAR isn't working well for people traveling over 70mph. Coem drive past me and I will clock you to see if it is working, then I cite them for speeding. That is entrapment, just like it sounds en-TRAP-ment. Not hiding and watching a public place. I noticed that there was a little emphasis on AND they had a drug dog. <br /><br />As for OTHER crimes that need attention. Lets get the public to give us a list, on these days these crimes are more important. On these other days this and that are more important. UNLESS of course something happens to the people complaining, then their neighbors dog pooping in their rose garden is the most important thing and must be handled immediately. Until the neighbors kid speeds past the house, then that becomes number one. For this reason they divide duties. They have narcotics officers, traffic enforcement, violent crimes units, vice units, even liquer control and animal control. Some luckier departments even have property units that handle the dog pooping in the neighbors yard. So handle the true crimes, maybe they are.<br /><br />Where is this all coming from and where is it going? Communist state because they have started using a different way of patroling and watching for criminal activity? If a family member would be at the off ramp and some idiot driver ran into them injuring them then sped off, but this under cover bum happen to see itand catch the guy, would your opinion be the same? I just don't get why this stirs people up so much. I am thinking more power to them, that thought as a private citizen.
