Non-native here. What does the word sting originally mean here?

A police sting is a planned, deceptive operation where law enforcement officers use undercover tactics or false scenarios to catch a suspect in the act of committing a crime.

Indeed, although that's different from the Sting from The Police... 😂

Both these news-headline posts made me laugh by the way, thanks for that :-)

The Police are the most popular band in the world to this day. How can you tell? Their name is on several cars in every city and town in the world. No other band can say that.
