Haha this is still the best undercover sting operation.

NFL films made a documentary about this a few years back. After seeing that I read that using fake free giveaways to lure in fugitives is a fairly common police tactic. So if you're ever on the run, don't claim any free prizes.

There's no such thing as "free" now. So if someone offered you free stuff --RUN!

I thought this was about Sting of the band Police playing at the SB.

My brother also played Super Bowl in college. And he and the team were not paid for this, even though the college received income from these games! I even wrote an essay and my example is here https://papersowl.com/examples/should-college-athletes-be-paid/, this topic was quite interesting a few years ago. I wonder if schools and athletes have come to an agreement now?

Thanks, I'll take note

I remember this in a movie, felt bad when a guy showed up with his young son all excited

This was some cold blooded stuff for the police to do. I remember a documentary on it.
Of course, degenerate criminals would show up for superbowl tickets.

The guy who thought this up probably became police chief or mayor or something.
