Ok so if it is so dangerous to give change to a pan-handler while at a stop and if it is illegal to solicit drivers, then weren't the cops not only breaking the law, (unlike the driver as it seems the law the quoted said nothing of drivers giving money to be illegal, and he was charged for unbuckling his belt, not for giving change) but also 'endagering' everyone... shouldn't the cop also be charged? I thought cops aren't supposed to break the law themselves during a 'sting' (more like a set-up...total entrapment imo) Isnt that like a cop actually becoming a drug dealer in order to take down a drug ring? I know I'm comparing a much greater offense but morality isn't might point, my point is about a cop breaking a law in order to see if someone else to break a law.
Meanwhile statistics state that there are as many as 10 active serial killers out there at any given time... nice waste of LE here. Those same cops could be working on (helping with) a sting to take out a human or underage (or both) trafficking ring. Even just patrolling a bad area to show a police presence would be more useful to citizens than this. Sigh...
