Idk. The trailer was unmarked and locked. There were a lot of freight vehicles getting broken into, so they parked one and waited for another legit crime to happen.

Just seems smart tbh.

It just seems like an easy target to me. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of socioeconomics knows that crime, especially crimes of opportunity sky rockets in poor communities.

This is a case of "treating the symptom and not the cause". Which is just easy mode bullshit policing. And another example of police prioritising property over people.

I think they just want easy arrests. It makes their department look good. Police is just a business in reality.
