If you can't do the time......
If you're passionate about your work, what's so wrong with becoming emotionally attached to a perfectly executed positive outcome?
Everyone should care so much.
(ok, so I don't have sound at worK) :lol:
What do these bait set ups accomplish? They never lead to busting the big time people that they are after. I would even go as far as saying that most of these types of operations are based on racist demographics.
When I was in high school, our principle did something similar. He dropped small amounts of marijuana in the areas of the campus where the minorities would congregate. He had look outs set up with binoculars and walkie talkies to watch the area from a good distance. If a kid picked up the dope, he would be signaled to swoop in with another adult, usually the shop teacher or a coach. One kid was was just inside the main office door to tell the administration about the dope he found but his career as a student was ended regardless.
This is the same man who at age 33, had sex with a student on school grounds during school hours while he was a vice principal. Did they charge him with anything? No, they promoted him.
You mean besides keeping me entertained?Quote:

A drug offense on your record is not a good thing and the fact that people in authority do this just makes it worse.
In my era the best I could do was to disassemble a radio shack plug in intercom and reassemble this inside the coffee pot in the teachers lounge when it needed to be repaired.
The range was but a few hundred feet so we modded the other half and used a cheap wireless transmitter.
This worked for several years after I left. ;)
In Alamo Heights Texas Mexicans were tolerated but blacks were pretty much screwed, and one of the reasons the football team did so bad, the last thing anyone not white wanted was to be around the jocks and coach.
I am now known as "Rudy the Rat" by some members of law enforcement due to my involvement with evidence collection.
Didn't you represent them in court? I'm sure you're a lawyer too.Quote:

There were a very small number of blacks in school and it was very clear that they did not belong.
I wanted a drivers license and was told that "If you make the (football) team you get your license".
The coach ran drivers ed and without the drivers ed approval you could not get a license prior to age 16.
So I used my other license and bought a Mexican license, riding a scooter and tractor around.
But there was indeed a court case that argued discrimination and Alamo Heights.

This was economic discrimination.

Screw em..... it's an Escalade, not a damned roach coach, so it's not like they ripped someone off to feed themselves or their starving children.
Tom, they are making entertainment in much the same way a cruel child pokes a hamster in a cage with a pencil. Is that police work?Quote:

I must add that quite honestly, the fact that we consider this entertainment, not even to mention the smug sense of satisfaction watching these programs gives some of our population, really just shows how we've become less civilized in this country and more of a vengeful nature.
Consider that much of what we do in the name of Law and Order in this country, really exacerbates the problem. Showing this stuff on TV shows that even if they get Manuel Rodriguez or Alvin Greene off the street today, it's just a vicious cycle or self fulfilling prophecy if you will, the system is set up to keep the new ones coming on the scene to keep feeding the Beast.
On the other hand, every time one of these assholes is thrown in jail, that's one less person left to steal something that belongs to us. Remember Charles, If they didn't steal the bait vehicles they wouldn't go to jail, and there would be no bait carTV show.Quote:

On a couple of episodes they were headed for chop shops , but they never made it.:lol:Quote:

I wonder why?
What difference does it make?Quote:

Street crime like stealing cars to take to a chop shop is just a symptom of the greater problem that isn't addressed because it isn't lucrative for the system, the status quo as it is today. At least make it harder for the car thieves to find a fence.
Most of the vehicles stolen on the show are taken for joy rides, and along they way they try to steal whatever they can find inside. The point is, nobody is forcing them to steal the vehicle. They have the option of walking by, but they don't because they are thieves.Quote:

Judging by the one time I watched an entire Bait Car show, though, I think that most of the thefts were nothing more than joy rides so, now, they're mostly making felons out of stupid kids by giving them an almost irresistible opportunity. These kids will then go on to do time in the joint where they'll be exposed to real criminals and come out much worse that they were to begin with.
It's bad police work. They should put that effort into the community. I'm not trying to defend car thieves. I do think these sting operations that target this particular segment is like shooting fish in a barrel.
"Dude! It's an Escalade!"
Make the same show using older type cars that rappers don't care about and watch what happens. You might start catching some career criminals. The way it's set up now, it's like they are just trying to pad their bottom line.
Many of the people people getting busted on these shows already have priors.Quote:

Yep, I got it.

It's all bullshit--they're just trying to make themselves look good and give the voyeurs a thrill. That's not real law enforcement, it's show business.Quote:

Thank You.Quote:
