A $250 fine and a stern talking to basically is being chucked out.
Nobody enticed the dude to commit a crime. He's a big boy who made that decision all by himself. Simply being in position to catch people who made that choice is not entrapment.
The police deliberately created an opportunity for a crime to be committed, had they not created that situation the crime would not have been committed. It is a textbook case of entrapment. You may think it's valid, but it is entrapment.
Or maybe the thief would go steal a scooter elsewhere? Police don't go after bike/scooter thieves that aren't caught in the act. This is one of the only ways to catch them in the act. 0 sympathy from me
