I heard of cases where police officers would request rides in places where it was legal to pick someone up but there was an increased chance of the driver making a mistake and doing something they can ticket.

If LEOs decide they want to waste everyone's time in what's basically entrapment, I've no problem with people wasting their time back.

Imagine they were doing that to a pizza place, ticketing delivery drivers? How bad would the pizza place be for letting the phone ring? For saying "Yeah, we'll get that right out to you..." and doing nothing?

(I don't know enough to say whether (or to what degree) the system was misapplied; it might well have been. Just that not all law enforcement use is automatically legitimate...)
