STING operation

A sting operation is a deceptive tactic used by law enforcement or investigative agencies to catch a suspect in the act of committing a crime. This often involves undercover agents posing as criminals or potential victims to gather evidence of illegal activities. The goal is to obtain enough proof for arrest and prosecution while preventing the suspect from realizing they are being monitored. Sting operations are commonly used in cases involving drug trafficking, fraud, and human trafficking, as they can effectively expose criminal behavior that might otherwise go unnoticed.
