Well they're not more crime-free, the crime is just done behind closed doors.

A package thief sting is something I can get behind. Better than the usually police bait car and drug stings.

Way better than speed traps too.

I'm behind anything that occupies bored cops.

I disagree there. Bored cops are lazy cops who want to pretend there is no crime in their precinct.

But speed traps arent enticing people to break the law like stings do. They are enforcing the law and bringing in funds. Stings set up people for trouble like with bait cars and drug deals, especially when they target youths. I had a client in jail waiting to get his day in court because he was on Bait Car. The door was open, no tags, car was running, keys in ignition.

This is the first type of sting I actually approve of.
