"Bait Bikes" Help Catch Bike Thieves, Then Shame Them
San Francisco Police aren't amused by bike thieves and they're using high tech means to catch them. Officers are leaving "bait bikes" around the city- equipped with GPS to catch the thieves. But they don't stop there though. Not only do they use top-of-the line expensive bikes to ensure the culprits are charged with a felony, they also shame them later by posting their pictures to social media!
Here's the New York Times story. Or you can watch the video below. So what do you think? Is this a good idea or over the top?
