I believe it’s called entrapment.
If it’s wrong for the cops/LE to do it, it’s wrong for civilians too.
Posting perp beatings to the ‘Net is just stupid, begging for trouble.
“Street Justice” is best served cold, and anonymously.

Cops are allowed to set traps to attract and capture criminals.

The most well known (and well documented) example is the Bait Car sting.

I believe it’s called entrapment.....Horse shit. Entrapment would be other members of the squad standing outside telling someone “ Bro, it’s OK to rob this store. Owner Don’ mind, cops just laugh at him any ways. Go ahead.”
