zazie Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Absolutely, we need more cops doing silly, reasonably expensive things and entrapping people. there is noweher near enough security at gmaes - the no purse rule is not enough to save us. Not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Not that funny a picture, really mature of that dude to make fun of a child That said the undercover cops is a great idea and I can't wait to see some idiot get arrested by the dude he is harassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. If they're just sitting there they're not entrapping anybody. Now if they initiate altercations and then arrest people for reacting that's another thing. And how is sitting in a stadium any more expensive than sitting in a park at night waiting for muggers & rapists, or sitting on a highway on-ramp citing people for letting their safety inspections expire? I'd hope that even putting the possibility out there that people in the other team's jersey might be cops would help curb the issue which really is one of the biggest in-stadium problems.

They will buy their own $300 jerseys? They will work free on gameday? Otherwise, it is expensive no matter how you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it is expensive no matter how you look at it. Well let's see. Considering the NFL is actively trying to provide a safer in-stadium environment I'd bet the jerseys are provided. Not that a T-shirt & cap doesn't have the same effect. And the cops are doing their jobs protecting the public so I would not expect them to volunteer their time.

NoSaint Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) They will buy their own $300 jerseys? They will work free on gameday? Otherwise, it is expensive no matter how you look at it. i bet they could wear items that arent authentic nfl jerseys, and i suspect even so the teams/nfl would be fairly willing to supply some items. if you just want to be angry, go ahead i guess, but of all the wastes i think this is one where the city actually sees some return by providing a positive gameday experience for visiting fans.... not to mention no one deserves some of the verbal (and physical) abuse doled out at stadiums. You don't understand what entrapment is. and thats likely the least of the issues coming through with that post.

zazie Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You don't understand what entrapment is. if you think these cops won't ever try to stimulate a situation, stoke the fire, you are very naive. Might not be entrapment every time, but it certainly will be at least sometimes. Keep your security, and get more, I won't be in the country much less the games, in any event.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 At the Bills home opener, the couple sitting next to me was undercover security. They had headsets and could hear/talk to uniformed peeps. They didn't have on gear of the Bills or the pats* but they were there to keep an eye on people.

thebug Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sounds like a good idea to me......they should really work on getting the word out.....just the possibility of them being there should act as a deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then train the police you put in that situation rather than deciding not to put them in an area where they will certainly do some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the one guy got beat up by some Raiders fans a couple of years back. That is about it for real violence. If you wear another teams jersey to the game, you can expect a bit of verbal banter. Which incidentally is not illegal. This is not an endemic problem that we need to regulate and police, so much. Less regulation = greater freedom. Good thing for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly.....the NFL network promoted the **** out of the new league bag/bringing stuff into the stadium policy......they could do the same and make a huge difference.
