In the UK back in the earish DVD days I remember this dud would turn up at my uncles work and sell a fuck a ton of discs, he got arrested in a sting.

police have way too much free time

A pub owner near me also got arrested due to a sting where she was buying "stolen" meat from a police officer

Holy fuck🤣🤣🤣 I thought stings were reserved for violent criminals

Its due to increasing budgets and lazy policing.

The stolen meat one really annoyed me as its targeting the working class while inflation is in full effect

Yeah. We're just so far away from the point that cracking down on illegal food should be a priority that I find that idea completely insane
