"Bait Car" is a great show. It is both fun and educational. I like to watch this show with my sons, so that they can see what happens when you do the wrong things with your life.
***plot spoilers below***
The plot is always the same, but it never gets old: a faked arrest leads to leaving the bait car on the side of the road, which is looked over repeatedly by potential criminals, until one of them finally jumps in the car and attempts to steal it. It is a lot like fishing; there is just something thrilling about seeing something take the bait. From there, "unhooking" the "fish" can get interesting. Some try to smash their way out. Some jump crazily around the cabin. Some go quietly. Some even ALMOST get away.
There needs to be more shows like this that show how police try to improve their neighborhoods by targeting high-crime areas and remove criminals. The amazing part of this show is that, on "Bait Car", the criminals lock themselves away...the cops just watch the show.
