First off your idea is entrapment and generally not tolerated in a free society. Secondly your idea would make sense if you were trying to actually catch criminals.
like many other large western cities, policing has become a political issue and are no longer allowed to police. They catch criminals and then release them to the streets hours later without charge.
Policing has become political in Left leaning cities.

- dghlsakjg 2y agoThat isn’t entrapment. Entrapment has to include an element of coercion to commit a crime that otherwise would not have been committed. Stealing a car that happens to belong to, and is monitored by the police is no one’s idea of entrapment. Bait stings are pretty well tolerated in modern society, since you have to steal a car to be stung.
