Do they have unmarked cars they leave unmanned? Possibly with some sort of cameras?
100% a police car but seems to have been left behind.

On a serious note do they still use the honey-trap cars to catch would be thieves?

If it's unmanned go and have a nose around.
If they ask what you're looking at just tell them you thought the car looked suspicious ha.
Never heard of it before though. Heard of it in empty flats/houses

Yeah they do.
Better than paying 2 coppers to sit and watch a dealers customers come and go, just leave a car recording it all.

They can't use bait cars over here since entrapment is illegal in the UK.

Load of bollocks.
Bloke in work got pulled after racing an evo which turned out to be an unmarked police car.
The evo sat on his rear bumper until he booted it

Really? Trying to entice someone into racing you is borderline entrapment.
It's certainly not something a police force should be doing to catch a guy on his way home after a shift at work.

Sounds like entrapment to me.
Definition "Inducing someone tp commit a crime they otherwise wouldn't have committed"
If the police hadn't sat on his bumper he wouldn't have committed the crime.

There was a guy I know who was driving through a 30 limit, and this car came and sat on his bumper following him for ages, he actually got quite worried so booted it away and was reaching speeds of 90mph in a 30. The more the car was sat on his bumper the more concerened he got and the faster he drove.
After a while they pulled him over and basically start reading him his rights, after he told them he was fearful for his safety as he thought it was someone after him, they let him go. Must have realised they didn't have much of a case due to their actions

I work with the guy. Would you like some video evidence and a confession from him?
You're whole act of sticking up for the police because you are one is laughable.
The first crime commited was tailgating, which funnily enough was the crime commited by the police first off, so please take you bullshit elsewhere.

It wasn't on the internet and this guy isn't known to sensationalise everything.
P.s have you never heard of auto correct?

I'm not going off on one at all. I just find it laughable how you're trying to defend something illegal, simply because the police use it as a tactic to snare people.
The fact you're trying to dig me out by criticising my phone auto correcting words is laughable and makes you look a bit of a pillock.

Why would your phone correct 'your' which is a correctly spelt word to a different version of 'you're'?
Ps. Don't rage at me

Tailgating is illegal, that's all I need to know.

Tbh if someone tailgates racing away isn't really the best thing. But yeah the police would get bollocked by the ipcc if you wanted to make a complaint.
Pulling the handbrake as hard as you can for just a split second is much more fun anyway, can see the whites of their eyes
