More Federal Agencies Are Using Undercover Operations
- jqm 12y agoI actually saw an undercover sting (not federal) in progress once. It was late at night in a small town in rural New Mexico. The town had two convenience stores. I was passing through and stopped at one of the stores to buy a soda and the police were parked on the side with a kid that looked about 17 years old. They were prepping him on what to say. So, I walk in the store and the kid walked in behind me. He went straight to the back, looked at the soda coolers then asked the lady... "Hey, where's the beer?" Her response was "We don't sell alcohol at this store". So he left and I started laughing. The clerk asked what was so funny and I told her. She immediately called her friend at the other convenience store in town warning of the impending sting. I imagine some of the federal stings are about as professional. But maybe some are better run.
