what would be special about the honeypot that would make them target it out of dozens of other stores?
so your solution is that a certain number of police officers stake out a store 24/7 until it's targeted?
need enough police to shoot beanbags at dozens of people and block escaping vehicles. all on a rotating schedule for who knows how long.
Nope, that's not what a honeypot is.
You have to make it enticing.
Firstly police said:
Most of the flash mob robberies had been happening in stores near highways in suburbs where police response can be slower.
So you have 2 or 3 major stores near highways in suburbs, and they all advertise a special 3 day event of major brands being flown in from Paris's Champs Elysee fashion district.
And you have a bunch of cops for those 3 days hiding around like pigs.
And because they are so many you gotta shoot, but don't shoot bullets, just bean bullets and then when they fall zip tie them.
I made another thread about the carjacking epidemic in the bay area.
Same thing there, have some parked cars around with p*ssy looking tourist actors, and have a tracking device inside of it.
Then follow the car to the source, and even keep it there and you can uncover the entire illegal supply chain.
I'm no genius, anyone could have thought of this.
But they ain't doing shyt, seems like they want this stuff to continue.
