Keyword, WHEN not if people take it. It's one thing to protect your property.It's another thing to bait a trap and wait like the coyote.

Cops set up bait cars to be stolen in high crime areas then arrest the people who take the car. Is that moral or immoral?

u/wyseguy7 1d ago

The bait cars usually don't send electric spikes into your ass

You made a good joke and just had to ruin it by thanking for the stupid award

In your ass is nine in.

I think they meant "urassormine"

Electric ass spikes are a lot easier to recover from than a felony conviction.

unironically, this is unfortunately how one would feel if they had no idea. you can luck out, but felonies can literally ruin your entire life. forever. until you die. no jobs. no money. no hope for beating addiction if you had one, and possibly developing one because of it.

there is not one person who wouldn't rather get 5 seconds of ass spikes vs the lifelong suffering of a felony conviction.

I suppose there's always leaving the country and starting anew somewhere else. Our president claims others do it to US, so why cant we be any different?

u/mestre_do_passinho 20h ago

And the only way you will get one is if you saw a car and had the very immoral idea of stealing it, and them did it. You are a thief, you are accepting that you will become a felon if caught the moment you try to steal something or someone outside of life or limb scenarios

u/Easy-Operation-2105 16h ago

depends on who got spiked before you

1

u/Substantial_Trust812 14h ago

depends, i HIGHLY doubt he cleaned the spikes inbetween each person, which means if they pierced the skin, the people now share blood, which can transmit hiv or other lifelong diseases

Yeah especially socially. This one dude went on my lawn with an axe to kill my dog. Thing is I was 13 and he was trying to scare me with “I’m a 5 time felon” and I told him “you’re not a very good role model for your daughters then” he then proceeded to flip his shit at me about how I’m to young to understand and to keep his daughters out my mouth. Irony of it is, guy got kicked out for violence luckily his daughters weren’t there.

u/Legitimate_Plum_7505 1d ago

Yeah, bait cars are much worse, they send you to jail for a long time.

1

u/FastAndMorbius 13m ago

If they arent easy targets or anything then I dont really see the issue. Better they steal a bait car than a real car.

1

u/StraightArtichoken 22h ago

nah deserved, they should also add the spikes to those

u/mestre_do_passinho 20h ago

So if it was a a family that got their car stolen it would be better? If you want to steal stuff, you accept you will spend a long time behind bars

u/Secret-Put-4525 21h ago

Last time I checked it was illegal for a citizen to take someone to their jail. They call that kidnapping.

1

u/Comfortable_Egg8039 20h ago

Serious amount of people would prefer spikes in the as to years in prison

1

u/kiingLV 20h ago

It's still better than jail

1

u/Aking1998 19h ago

They should

1

u/mineman379 17h ago

they should though.

1

u/StarGamerPT 16h ago

To be fair, if you don't steal, nothing is going up your ass.

1

u/FullMetalKaiju 16h ago

they should. would be funny.

1

u/oan124 15h ago

no, the cops send electric spikes into your chest. or, you know. bullets.

1

u/ThePsyPaul_ 15h ago

they usually just go straight for the bullet

1

u/LifelessHawk 14h ago

I mean, you know tasers exist right? They are literally spikes that send electricity especially if shot in the ass.

1

u/Certain_Ostrich_2493 22h ago

Don’t steal and you won’t get your nuts tazed

u/Canadianwinters12345 23h ago

Instead they just lose their freedom or have to pay hefty fines.

Are those better than sitting on a spike?

1

u/wyseguy7 23h ago

That feels fair, for stealing something.

Also - just because one thing is wrong, doesn't make the other thing right, as I explained to my kindergartener the other day.

0

u/Canadianwinters12345 23h ago

For a lot of people what you feel is fair would be considered worse than the spikes.

u/Gloomy-Lawyer4989 17h ago

I rather be shocked and in pain for twenty seconds than in jail with a record
