Bait Car Audience Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
jubileeng Awful. There is nothing interesting about police setting up traps. It is one thing to go catch active criminals, and a terrible other to provoke and create criminals. We have enough crime for them to fight, rather than them enticing minorities for TV ratings. America is a joke. This shouldn't be legal. These cops afraid to catch the real bad guys. We will so much to be "entertained" that we disregard a certain level of morals and ethics to those who should uphold them.I think their focus should be on the cars that have already been stolen, rather than sitting around waiting for someone to steal a car that they have planted. What low grade type of police work is this.....smh
Christopher Papazoglow It goes like this: Assemble your team of cops, take your team and your Bait Car to an area as heavily Black and/or Latino as you can find, drop the car off while making it as obvious as possible that it's unlocked and the keys are in it, and wait for the dumb-ass. Once in a great while that dumb-ass will be other than Black or Latino, but it's obvious that AREAS that are primarily Black and/or Latino is the overriding prerequisite for deciding where to drop the car. You'll watch the featured city's PD "set up" in supposedly "where the car thefts are most-often occurring", but almost never include (for the show,at least) an operation in any high-theft area that ISN'T populated primarily by Blacks and/or Latinos. The show appears to be trying to advance the premise that us White folks aren't committing these crimes as much, by as much as possible avoiding placing the bait where us White folks could see it.
carmin0202 i don't understand why cops got nothing better to do than try to set people up all the time its pretty sad that their setting people up with perfect opportunities to steal a car i mean come on now.. yes their thieves their setting up but seriously don't we have anything better to do than putting people in jail for car theft. how bout get their lazy asses busy and start looking for some of these missing kids and investigate real crimes.. car theft although its a common thing the point is its not a person to person crime its a property crime its not like car jacking or robbery its just pathetic were putting people in jail for car theft to crowd the prison systems for car theft when these people are obviously broke to begin with and will never pay their debt to society back for this crime
crash21 I don't understand why people have given this show such a low rating. Honestly, I think "Bait Car" might be even better than "Cops", and I'm a big fan of "Cops". These shows teach you that reality shows can be made of truly real-life moments in reality, and not just of stupid games playing around with people's lives.I think "Bait Car" has some really memorable, and comical moments. One classic moment is where the girls take the bait car, get trapped in it and scream "oh my god! we're in a stolen vehicle!" Well, duh it's stolen, you stole it!"Bait Car" really shows you how many people just can't say "no" to a simple car with keys and an open door. And every once in a while, there's a nice ending with someone being honest and locking the car up so it doesn't get stolen, or calling the police to (unknowingly) report their own car.
