 Awesome, but Impractical: The bait car itself needs to be heavily modified at substantial expense to work properly, and when it is placed, apprehending the people driving off with it requires about a dozen officers on duty. After all that, the criminals are often charged with misdemeanors (unlawful driving/taking of a vehicle) and not felonies (grand theft auto). In one case, the judge dismissed the charges entirely, arguing that the methods the cops used in their particular baiting counted as entrapment. However it does help catch repeat offenders and keeps the area clear for some time with the word of the people around stating that the police are around.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })
