Me neither, but I can see some potential liability issues stemming from the highway barricades, and the “observation of altered behavior” because of them.

There is a piece of entrapment in this, but it is not as bad as what is commonly allowed, as I see it.

For example, if the cops see a car pull a handbrake turn and screech into an illegal U-turn over the median 100 yds after the sign....that’s IMO voluntary VERY suspicious behavior.

We see cops placing ads in newspaper with lists of the names of wanted felons (or fugitives or arrest warrants) as lottery winners...and such spoofs inevitably results in some very low cost arrests. And....we laugh at those, do we not? How is this different than such a spoof? [answering my own question] Existing warrants are existing, this is “fishing”.

I’m not defending nor attacking here, just discussing.

There’s no question that the suspicious behavior that will become the stop & request to search premise is cop-induced. I guess for me, the piece of criticality is how the searches are conducted. If they are conducted under duress, then that’s already illegal (not that it isn’t done)

And Tennessee and some Southern State cops are fanatical about seizing any amounts of cash they find over pocket money amounts.
