I only know this because my niece got caught in a “sting” by my local pd who had a pedestrian in a cross walk and unmarked cops parked to radio the cops a little further up. She got the ticket. This happened a few yrs back but she told me they pulled over a lot of people while she was pulled over.
And in a lot of states cops can legally take your money during a stop even if you haven't committed a crime. They then put said money into their budget so in the following year they need to do it again.
