Well they did have a sting on the street scene in Limerick a few years ago and it was disgraceful entrapment and apparently leaded to at least 1 suicide and reports of extreme bullying directed at the children of some of those clients in schools after their names were reported in a certain fucking rag!
As far as we know despite threats to the contrary, the pigz have not gone down that route since!
If you look at it objectively, we have a so called police force which is top heavy with lads geared towards taking as much money as they possibly can in wages for the least amount of work possible! A sting operation would garner huge PR Kudos, placate TORLER Wankers for a while and make it appear like their on the ball and give them a respite from actually really policing the biz for some time afterwards! It's what might be termed a 'spectacular' from their POV!
However, surely legally as ads would have to be placed, there is a clear issue with respect to entrapment!
Ride them on the beaches!
