Thanks for all of this recon and info
[QUOTE=MongerSeeker;4738772]I have watched sting operations on TV and they almost all have said the girl does not get in the car. In recent years I have noticed often times LE will have another UC watching the decoy close by. In one case I saw where there a cop dressed as a homeless person. This is also a tip off that a sting is taking place.[/QUOTE]From someone observing back here in chi-town. Every time I see posts like this I think back of a cops episode out in la la land on sunset I believe where they did a reverse sting. A cop was riding around in a beat up hugo in a birthday clown costume with a bouquet of balloons in the back seat and of course the show had sound on him so we heard the convo. Once the girl got into the car he drove away a bit, stopped and then the signal to move in was he reached back, got the balloons and released them into the air! I have to find that on you tube! When this actually aired (must have been early 90's) I was rolling on the floor!
I'm sure the guys feel better knowing that
[QUOTE=Jamesj;4752062]If you read the article, it was a "cooperative female " being used as a decoy. Thus she was NOT an uncover police officer.
JAMESJ.[/QUOTE]I'm sure the guys who were under the mistaken believe that if a girl got in the car they were home free are relieved to know the girl that actually did get in the car resulting in their arrest wasn't an actual cop but a "cooperating female. ".
At the end of the day, they still got their picture in the paper.
