One show that really upset me, saw it recently although I dont know how old it was:

Cops set up a curbside marijuana sale bust. They had a guy who was going up to windows and soliciting people to buy weed, then when the people would buy the cops would swoop in and arrest them for "purchasing drugs from a police officer." They were informed their cars were now police property and taken to jail. Most of these people were dirt poor and drove clunkers, which makes it all the more amusing.

I'm curious how cops pull this off without it being entrapment, or maybe they just go after poor people they know wont get an attorney.

Brilliant crime fighting, makes me proud.
Personally, I feel no pity for drug abusers. I think they should all be executed in fact.
